Robert W. Service (1874-1958) was a Canadian poet best known for his poems about the Canadian North. Service came to Canada when he was 21 hoping to become a cowboy. Instead he ended up working in a bank in the Yukon Territory. 'The Shooting of Dan McGrew' and 'The Cremation of Sam McGee' made him famous. During World War 1 he was an ambulance driver and war correspondent. Rhymes of a Rolling Stone is a collection of poetry including the poems The Trapper’s Christmas Eve, The Soldier of Fortune, The Gramaphone at Fond-Du-Lac, and Death in the Arctic.

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....
