Now considered possibly Illinois' greatest poet, Carl Sandburg
(1878-1967) saw himself as a bard of the working class. Chicago
Poems brought him to national attention and is one of the few
Chicago classics that can also be termed an American classic. It
includes such famous poems as "Chicago" and "Fog," as well as many
others whose subjects range from the lives of ordinary citizens to
city scenes and World War I. Written in powerful free verse, the
poems are notable for their realistic portrayal of the struggle of
working people and their focus on the lyric beauty of the urban
environment.
