Ballads of a Bohemian

This book contains a beautiful collection of poems linked through a common narration by the "author" Stephen Poore. These poems detail his bohemian life in Paris prior to the war, his experiences during World War I, and his life in the aftermath of the war. A fantastic collection of poesy that will be enjoyed by all lovers of poetry, this book shall especially appeal to fans of Service's seminal work. Robert William Service (1874 - 1958) was a prolific British-Canadian writer and poet, most famous for his poems, "The Shooting of Dan McGrew" and "The Cremation of Sam McGee". Elected for modern republication due to its immense literary value, this book is proudly republished here complete with a new prefatory biography of the author. Ballads Of A Bohemian was originally published in 1922.

“There's the wretched rent to pay,
Yet I glower at pen and ink:
Oh, inspire me, Muse, I pray,
It is later than you think!”
