Carl Sandburg
About this listen
Known as a "poet of the people," Carl Sandburg wrote verses infused with soulfulness and lyric grace, and his work was characterized with a love and compassion for the common man. Here is a collection of nearly 100 of his best poems, including "Chicago," "Fog," "To a Contemporary Bunkshooter," "Masses," and "The Great Hunt," as well as other verses featuring themes like love, war, death, loneliness, immigrant life, and the beauty of nature. These early poems—which earned him enormous popularity in the 1920s and '30s—are read here by Susan Anspach, Roscoe Lee Browne, Robert Foxworth, Elliott Gould, Joel Grey, Ernie Hudson, Arte Johnson, Melissa Manchester, Kevin McCarthy, Carl Reiner, Burt Reynolds, Jean Smart, Alfre Woodard, and Efrem Zimbalist, Jr.

Beautiful Renditions of Classic Poetry
It seems very dated; however the disparity between rich and poor, privileged and those who struggle has grown further apart. Our country needs the wisdom of Sandburg in our leaders. I wish this had a listing of each poem and who is reading. Well done.

Love it
I really appreciate hearing these poems read by such a wonderful diversity of voices. Loss and Buttons are just two examples of poems I wouldn't hear the way they are read here. I love these writings.
