Robert W Service in Poets Biography & Poetry Resource Directory

    

We dedicated to preserving the memory and poetry of Robert W. Service. The obituary appeared in the Pittsburgh SunTelegraph of Sept. 16, 1958: A GREAT POET died last week in Lancieux, France, at the age of 84. He was not a poets poet. FancyDan dilettantes will dispute the description great. He was a peoples poet. To the people he was great. They understood him, and knew that any verse carrying the byline of Robert W. Service would be a lilting thing, clear, clean and powerpacked, beating out a story with a dramatic intensity that made the nerves tingle.
