The Complete Poems of Carl Sandburg

It was not accident that Sandburg should write the great biography of Lincoln, a biography perfectly suited to Lincoln's genius. For Sandburg is, like Whitman, the Lincoln of our poetry. At a time when we are tempted to betray ourselves, tempted into irrationality, into superficiality and cynicism, he celebrates what is best in us and recalls us to our heritage and to our humanity.
