Nonfiction / poetry
110 pages
4 Stars
Although I liked several of the poems in this book, they are beautifully written and nicely constructed, I can only give it four stars. To be honest, I think it’s my personal bias. These poems were originally published in the late 1950s and poetry has morphed since then. I prefer the newer
styles.
Of the ones I liked, my favorite is Love is a Deep and a Dark and a Lonely. If not the poem itself, the title.
I can see why Sandburg is the quintessential American poet. If you haven’t read him, I think you need to. Perhaps that is part of my bias, I came to him in my twilight years.
