'Ottawa Folk Festival Robert Service Collection (from The Spell of the Yukon)' Summary
"The Spell of the Yukon" is a collection of poems by Robert Service, a Canadian poet known for his vivid descriptions of the Canadian North. Set during the Klondike Gold Rush, the poems capture the spirit of adventure, the allure of riches, and the harsh realities of life in the Yukon wilderness. Service's poems are filled with evocative imagery, rugged characters, and a sense of the untamed frontier. They explore themes of survival, love, loss, and the enduring power of human spirit in the face of adversity. This specific collection was recorded live at the Ottawa Folk Festival, showcasing the poems being read aloud with an audience in the background, adding to the raw, authentic feel of the work.Book Details
