Carl Sandburg Reads: A Poetry Collection

Carl Sandburg Reads: A Poetry Collection Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Carl Sandburg was, beyond any question, the "poet of the people."He found beauty in the ordinary language of the people, the "American lingo" as he called it, and turned it into poetry.His rhythams caught the pulse of Americans and his poems entered its bloodstream.

When Sandburg died in 1967, President Lyndon Johnson stated, "there is no end to the legacy he leaves us."

Review:

"[Sandburg reads] with superb understatemant, nuance, and phrasing."(-- Horn Book)
