I enjoy Sandburg's gritter city poems a bit more than his country farm poems, all of them quickly get to the soul of humanity. Often I have to stop and remember that some of these poems were written in the early 19oos and are more modern than some of the poetry students are forced to study in high school. Sandburg's love and respect for the working class shows by not elevating them to poetry, but showing that poetry in something for the everyman.
