A representative selection of poems, culled from the Pulitzer Prize-winning poet’s published verse, plus thirteen poems appearing in book form for the first time. “[Sandburg’s poetry] is independent, honest, direct, lyric, and it endures, clamorous and muted, magical as life itself” (New York Times). Introduction by Mark Van Doren.

About the Author
CARL SANDBURG (1878-1967) was twice awarded the Pulitzer Prize, first in 1940 for his biography of Abraham Lincoln and again in 1951 for Complete Poems. Before becoming known as a poet, he worked as a milkman, an ice harvester, a dishwasher, a salesman, a fireman, and a journalist. Among his classics are the Rootabaga Stories, which he wrote for his young daughters at the beginning of his long and distinguished literary career.

harvest poems-Carl Sandburg,
By A Customer
This review is from: Harvest Poems: 1910-1960 (Paperback)
This is the book I would take with me if I was stranded on a deserted island. Actually, I take it with me on every fishing and camping trip. It is a compact book which contains all of Carl Sandburg's most popular poems. I have 'The complete poems of Carl Sandburg' and it is a great book to have at home. However, it is too big to take anywhere with you. 'Harvest Poems' is a small paper back which costs less than $10 and contains my favorite poems "Chicago' and "Under a harvest moon" . It is sure to contain your favorite Sandburg poems too. If you are unfamiliar with this poet you might find a new favorite here. This is not poetry in the traditional sense. It does not rhyme. It will affect you down to your very core. I hope you give it a chance and enjoy it as much as I do.
