Other Carl Sandburg

"Mr. Yannella has burrowed deeper into the archives than previous chroniclers, concentrating on the years 1915 and 1919, which were crucial in both Sandburg's political history and his poetic development....Mr. Yannella did not write his book in the spirit of debunking Sandburg but to enrich our understanding of his poems. He skillfully uses biography to illuminate the poetry and persuasively demonstrates that Sandburg's was the real thing, not proletarian propaganda....All the baser elements in himself...Sandburg transmuted into poetic gold."Yannella, Philip R. is the author of 'Other Carl Sandburg' with ISBN 9780878059416 and ISBN 0878059415.
