Carl Sandburg HOME FRONT MEMO
Sandburg, Carl: HOME FRONT MEMO
New York: Harcourt Brace, 1942. First edition.
"Considered garrulous, sentimental, and dated by some, and powerful,
original, and timeless by others, Sandburg spoke to and for the American
century in which he lived and did his work. At the Carl Sandburg Memorial
Ceremony on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial on 17 September 1967, nearly
two months after Sandburg's death at Connemara, poet Archibald MacLeish told
President Lyndon B. Johnson, Chief Justice Earl Warren, and thousands of
Sandburg's fellow Americans that "with Sandburg it is the body of the work
that weighs, the sum of it, a whole quite literally greater than the total
of its parts. . . . Sandburg had a subject--and the subject was belief in
man."
Sandburg moved as restlessly through literary forms as he did through the
American landscape, also distinguishing himself as a journalist at the
Chicago Daily News. He covered World War I in Europe for the Newspaper
Enterprise Association, and the articles he wrote as a syndicated columnist
during World War II were collected in Home Front Memo in 1943." From
