In the winter of 1914, Carl Sandburg, then a reporter at The Day
Book in Chicago, submitted several of his poems to Harriet Monroe's
Poetry magazine. The title poem began: "Hog Butcher for the World,
/ Tool Maker, Stacker of Wheat..." Monroe at first hesitated to
accept the poems because of "their unorthodox form and their range
from brutality to misty lyricism." But she took a deep breath and
printed them. In the decade that followed, Sandburg came quickly to
national prominence. In Poems for the People, George and Wilene
Hendrick, Sandburg's most accomplished interpreters, have selected
seventy-three poems from his early years in Chicago, almost all of
them never before in print. Included are poems of social protest,
gentle ruminations, and poems about teeming Chicago life. Sandburg
may have regarded them as too radical for the time; others may have
been set aside and never retrieved. This unearthed treasure,
together with the Hendrick's biographical introduction and
commentary on the poems, mark Poems for the People as a major
publishing event.

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.
1916. 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. Chicago Poems was Sandburg's first published book of poems.
Among the dozens of poems in this collection are such well-known
verses as Chicago, Fog, To a Contemporary Bunkshooter, Who Am I?
and Under the Harvest Moon as well as many others. See other titles
by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.
