Add to a Notebook Carl Sandburg Carl Sandburg was born in Galesburg, Illinois, on January 6, 1878. His parents, August and Clara Johnson, had emigrated to America from the north of Sweden. After encountering several August Johnsons in his job for the railroad, the Sandburg's father renamed the family. The Sandburgs were very poor; Carl left school at the age of thirteen to work odd jobs, from laying bricks to dishwashing, to help support his family. At seventeen, he traveled west to Kansas as a hobo. He then served eight months in Puerto Rico during the Spanish-American war. While serving, Sandburg met a student at Lombard College, the small school located in Sandburg's hometown. The young man convinced Sandburg to enroll in Lombard after his return from the war. Sandburg worked his way through school, where he attracted the attention of Professor Philip Green Wright, who not only encouraged Sandburg's writing, but paid for the publication of his first volume of poetry, a pamphlet called Reckless Ecstasy (1904). While Sandburg attended Lombard for four years, he never received a diploma (he would later receive honorary degrees from Lombard, Knox College, and Northwestern University). After college, Sandburg moved to Milwaukee, where he worked as an advertising writer and a newspaper reporter. While there, he met and married Lillian Steichen (whom he called Paula), sister of the photographer Edward Steichen. A Socialist sympathizer at that point in his life, Sandburg then worked for the Social-Democrat Party in Wisconsin and later acted as secretary to the first Socialist mayor of Milwaukee from 1910 to 1912.

He delivered milk, harvested ice, laid bricks, threshed wheat in Kansas, and shined shoes in Galesburg's Union Hotel before traveling as a hobo in 1897. His experiences working and traveling greatly influenced his writing and political views. As a hobo he learned a number of folk songs, which he later performed at speaking engagements. He saw first-hand the sharp contrast between rich and poor, a dichotomy that instilled in him a distrust of capitalism. When the Spanish-American War broke out in 1898 Sandburg volunteered for service, and at the age of twenty was ordered to Puerto Rico, where he spent days battling only heat and mosquitoes. Upon his return to his hometown later that year, he entered Lombard College, supporting himself as a call fireman.

Extractions: "It Is, As It's Elsewhere" Report by Lynette Abel I love learning from Aesthetic Realism about poetrywhat it truly isand how it is the means of understanding our lives and the world itself. Eli Siegel explained for the first time that in every instance of poetryfrom the intricate and elegant verse of the 16th century English poet Edmund Spenser to the popular and earthy American folksong "She'll Be Comin' 'Round the Mountain"there is something in common: poetic music, which arises from the way opposites, which are the permanent structure of reality, are made one. "Poetry," he stated, "arises out of a like of the world so intense and wide that of itself, it is musical." [TRO 181] The lecture Mr. Siegel gave on June 17, 1970, was titled "It Is, as It's Elsewhere." He began: And the difference between poetrythe real thingand what may look like and be called poetry but isn't, Mr. Siegel said "is like the difference between life and death." Just as life takes many different forms, so does poetry. He explained:
