"These letters reveal the thoughts of two fine, strong minds drawn to each other first by their interest in socialism, then by their love of poetry and a similarity of ethics and ideals. My mother recognized this in his early prose and poetry. They learned so much about each other from these letters, yet it seems extraordinary that there was so little personal contact."-- From the introduction by Margaret Sandburg

Excerpt from From Whitman to Sandburg in American Poetry: A Critical Survey Though none of the other poets approach him in size or comprehensiveness, many of them are none the less greatly significant. Nationalism, cosmopol itan influences in art and politics, a varying natural ism and mysticism, futilitarianism, and a new and abounding T1tan1sm, are some of the marks of the later bards. Folk poetry, too, with its rude action, domestic sentiments, and humor is scarcely less sig nificant of the divine average and its moods.
