I had never heard of Robert Service until just about a week ago when I stumbled across his book of poems on Serial Reader. A lot of the poems have a feeling like the Yukon writing of Jack London, often seemingly contradictory while detailing the harshness and the beauty of the place. I thoroughly enjoyed most of these poems about the reality of life in the Yukon. There are also some describing other times and places.
