In these seventy-seven poems, Carl Sandburg eloquently celebrates the themes that enraged him as a poet for more than half a century--life, love, and death. Strongly lyrical, embracing life with warmth and affection, these luminous, intensely honest poems testify to man's courage, frailty, and tenderness and to the enduring wonders of nature.
They ask questions whose answers lie locked in the human heart and reveal once again why, although he won international eminence as a biographer, historian, novelist, and journalist, Carl Sandburg is, first and foremost, America's favorite poet.
This collection features such poems as:
- WingtipLove Is a Deep and a Dark and a LonelyAlmanacBiographyFogArithmetic
A magnificent tribute to the rich and enduring vitality of a poetic genius whose creative power has in no way lessened with the passing years. Those qualities of 'steel and velvet, ' or rock-hardness and drifting-fog-softness, which this poet once attributed to Abraham Lincoln, are so perfectly blended in these poems that the reader is captivated by their alternate strength and tenderness, their pure lyricism and granite wisdom, their measure of honey and salt. -Chicago Tribune
