Book Description
This book is a combination of an eclectic biography of Carl Sandburg and an anthology of his greatest works that clearly resonate today. It is partly a political book examining his life in an era eerily similar to the modern age. The vast majority of this collection is immediately relevant today to readers today. Sandburg took inspiration from the earlier urban poet Walt Whitman and his fellow Midwesterner Abraham Lincoln. Max Walter offers his own musings on Sandburg's genius, an incisive comparison of Whitman and Sandburg, and analysis of Sandburg's politics and attitudes toward civil rights. Reprinted is Sandburg's 1959 "Address Before Congress" about Lincoln as are thirty-six select poems and twelve excerpts from The People, Yes, wherein the heroes were the common folk. Carl Sandburg American Experience concludes with a republishing of ten of Sandburg's whimsical children's Rootabaga Stories where silliness and fun are experienced through simple words, poetry, and language. They are a celebration of tender and joyful things thorough exquisite language.

Book Description
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.
