You can read Rudyard Kipling’s work in the book Kipling: Poems, available from publisher Penguin Random House.
Kipling’s parents met in England and then resettled in India, and so his career was often marked by controversy due to his perceived (some would argue implied and others would say stated) support of British colonialism. He was educated in the UK, then returned to Bombay to work as a journalist. He later lived in the U.S. and UK. Many of his most famous poems were published before 1920, including "Gunga Din," "The White Man's Burden" and "My Boy Jack," about his only son, who died in World War I.
