The Day Carl Sandburg Died
Fascinating movie. Fascinating man. Sandburg’s radical free verse poetry, best known in Chicago Poems, changed 20th century poetry. The two-time Pulitzer Prize winner was also a biographer, a journalist, children’s storyteller, folk song collector, novelist, and autobiographer. He was a captivating performer, entertaining audiences on stage, radio and television enjoying the kind of fame, fortune and recognition that is rarely, if ever, afforded a poet.
Yet, what interested me most was his social activism (women, children, POC) and political activism.
And, they did a wonderful job highlighting the influence of his wife and children on all that he did.
Interesting stuff.
