Robert Service (1874-1958) was a worldy traveler and accomplished
poet, orignially from
England. During the
German Invasion of
France he fled to
North America where he remained for the bulk of his
life. He traveled the world while living in
Canada before finally returning to
France where he spent the short remainder of his life. Service spent most of his time pursueing
random vagabond careers in whatever port he found himself. From
Turkey to
Alaska,
England to
Mexico, he traveled the
world writing
poetry when he found the chance.
As I find time and pour through my
books and old papers, I'll begin posting some of his
poetry here.
