The Spell of the Yukon and Other Verses (Version 2)

Robert W. Service (1874 - 1958)

This collection deals with wanderlust in general but the bulk of the poems are based on Service’s time in the Yukon. He captures the excitement and energy of the place but also the dangers, both physical and spiritual, that await: “No spot on the map in so short a space/ has hustled more souls to hell.” (Summary by Gerald A Moe)

Genre(s): Single author

Language: English
