Traces the life of the American poet, journalist, and historian who won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry and the Pulitzer Prize for History.
The America of Carl Sandburg tells of the effect of the American tradition on the poet and of his impact upon America. It is a study in depth, showing the unconscious Scandinavian influences, the conscious French influences, and the effect on Sandburg's writings, both poetry and prose, of Lincoln, Emerson, Emily Dickinson, and, of course, Whitman. The author develops a clear picture of Sandburg's place in American literature by comparison and contrast with other major contemporaries and delineates the emergence of the Sandburg image abroad.
A selection of tales from Rootabaga Country peopled with such characters as the Potato Face Blind Man, the Blue Wind Boy, and many others.
Written in the poet's unique personal idiom, these early poems include "Chicago," "Fog," "Who Am I?" "Under the Harvest Moon," plus more on war, love, death, loneliness and the beauty of nature.
The Pulitzer Prize–winning poet and historian recalls his midwestern boyhood in this classic memoir. Born in a tiny cottage in Galesburg, Illinois, in 1878, Carl Sandburg grew with America. As a boy he left school at the age of thirteen to embark on a life of work—driving a milk wagon and serving as a hotel porter, a bricklayer, and a farm laborer before eventually finding his place in the world of literature. In Always the Young Strangers, Sandburg delivers a nostalgic view of small-town life around the turn of the twentieth century and an invaluable perspective on American history.
