Bøger af Carl Sandburg

(LARGE PRINT EDITION) 1920. Sandburg, Pulitzer Prize winning poet, was virtually unknown to the literary world when, in 1914, a group of his poems appeared in the nationally circulated Poetry magazine. His work found beauty and glory in the simple America that surrounded him: the farms, industry, landscape, culture, and most importantly, the American people. Smoke and Steel, one of his earlier collections of poems, helped establish his reputation.

The Rag Doll was blessed with many friends―the Wisk Broom, the Furnace Shovel, and the Coffee Pot among them―but when it came time to marry, she chose the Broom Handle. On the day of their wedding, the bride and groom were attended by a fantastical procession of well-wishers: the Spoon Lickers, the Tin Pan Bangers, the Easy Ticklers, the Musical Soup Eaters, and other whimsical characters, all marching along in a manner befitting their extraordinary names. This tale of wedding pomp and madcap mirth comes from poet Carl Sandburg's classic book of American fairy tales, The Rootabaga Stories. Marvelous drawings by Harriet Pincus, a noted illustrator of children's books, enhance the tale. Out of print for years, the book is now available in a new edition that introduces the story and its gloriously antic art to a new generation of parade-lovers, wedding-goers, and everyone who enjoys a fanciful celebration. Carl Sandburg (1878-1967) received three Pulitzer Prizes, one for his 1940 biography of Abraham Lincoln and two for his poetry. His classic works include The Rootabaga Stories, written early in his career for his children, from which the text of this volume was taken. Sandburg considered traditional fairy tales about knights and royalty too far removed from the experience of American children and set about devising his own folkloric tales, which unfold amid the farms and towns of the Midwest. Harriet Pincus (1938-2001) was an author, editor, and illustrator of children's books whose works garnered a School Library Journal Best Books nod, a New York Times Outstanding Book of the Year listing, a National Book Award nomination, and an ALA Notable Book award. The Wedding Procession was the first of her publications, which include Minna and Pippin, Tell Me a Mitzi, and Little Red Riding Hood. www.doverpublications.com

George and Willene Hendrick, Sandburg's most accomplished interpreters, have selected 73 poems from his early years in Chicago, almost all of them never before published.

Offering cultural insights on the pre-World War One era, this book acts as a kind of moral and philosophical tonic, making one believe in the possibilities for art, love, and social reform.

Ever the Winds of Chance.

Chicago Poems (1916) brought Carl Sandburg to national attention, and it remains one of the most widely known volumes of American poetry.

The most comprehensive and readable one-volume collection of Lincoln's writings ever published. -David Herbert Donald.
