Robert Swanson, once known as the "Bard of the Woods," is one of the men who knows and loves BC coastal bunkhouse ballads, because he has lived it fully! And he is one of the very few who has written them all down in RHYMES OF A WESTERN LOGGER!

In the 1940s, when Robert Swanson was a forestry safety inspector travelling from camp to camp, he was also selling his little books of poetry. Now his complete works are back again, in this one attractive volume."

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: B.C.'s bestselling poet, Robert Swanson (1905-1994)  was a renaissance man who was also known for decades as the 'bard of the woods.' After a meeting with Robert Service in a Vancouver bookstore run by Service's brother, Swanson took the advice of Robert Service and mimicked his Klondike balladeering style to generate four books of verse about B.C. logging.
