Synopsis
1921. Poet, novelist, dramatist and journalist, Masefield's literary career was a varied one. He went to sea as a youth and his first volumes of poems earned him the title of Poet of the Sea. He was a prolific writer, publishing poetry and novels as well as taking on editorial tasks. In 1930 he became Poet Laureate, a post he retained until his death 37 years later. The persons, horses and events described in this poem, Right Royal, are imaginary. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.
