This antiquarian book contains a collection of poems written by Robert William Service. A delightful collection of poetic tales of northern gold rush living that offers incredible insights into the lives and outlooks of the men and women of the region, these poems will appeal to any lovers of poetry, and constitute a veritable must-read for fans of Service’s work. The poems include: 'To The Man of the High North', 'Men of the High North', 'The Ballad of the Northern Lights', 'The Ballad of the Black Fox Skin', 'The Ballad of Pious Pete', 'The Ballad of Blasphemous Bill', and many others. Robert William Service was a British-Canadian poet and writer, best known for his poems 'The Shooting of Dan McGrew' and 'The Cremation of Sam McGee'. Many vintage texts such as this are increasingly hard to come by and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.

    Jennifer Chrystie
    ‘There’s a touch of both Dickinson and Larkin in Jennifer Chrystie’s mature exhumation of the tales and tropes of family. Figures who could so easily flit like phantoms in her well honed poetry are palpably enjoying an after-life in the poet’s ability to redeem through deep understanding. The collection arcs from, at one extreme, the parsimonies of the household, to the transce...

  • One Kiss
    Edward V Bonner
    The very title of Edward V. Bonner's first volume of poetry, One Kiss (Ingram, 2015), suggests some ways in which the poems inside balance the universal with the particular. Most of the poems examine the themes of beauty and risk, pleasure and danger, in the context of one of three kinds of relationships: to romantic partners, to the spiritual world, and to the world of nature....
