About this book
A collection from the Pulitzer Prizeâwinning American poet with "a sharp lively wit and a tender approach to the human condition" (
The Philadelphia Inquirer).
Â
Though he was also renowned as a biographer of Abraham Lincoln, Carl Sandburg was first and foremost a poetâupon his death, President Lyndon B. Johnson said "Carl Sandburg was more than the voice of America, more than the poet of its strength and genius. He was America."
Â
In this outstanding collection of seventy-seven poems, Sandburg eloquently celebrates the themes that engaged him as a poet for more than half a century of writingâlife, love, and death. Strongly lyrical, these intensely honest poems testify to human courage, frailty, and tenderness and to the enduring wonders of nature.
Â
"A poetic genius whose creative power has in no way lessened with the passing years." â Chicago Tribune
