Chicago Poems
Book by Carl Sandburg
Chicago Poems is a collection of poetry by Carl Sandburg, his first by a mainstream publisher.
Inspiration, publication, and reception
Sandburg moved to Chicago in after living in Milwaukee, where he had served as secretary to Emil Seidel, Milwaukee's Socialist mayor. Harriet Monroe, a fellow resident of Chicago, had recently founded the magazine Poetry at around this time. Monroe liked and encouraged Sandburg's plain-speaking free verse style, strongly reminiscent of Walt Whitman.
Sandburg sent his manuscript to Alfred Harcourt, then a junior-ranking editor at Henry Holt. Facing opposition from above, Harcourt removed and censored&#;with Sandburg's co-operation&#;the harsher poems. For example, the direct criticism of "Billy Sunday" by name, previously published in The Masses and International Socialist Review,[1] was replaced with the more tepid and anonymous "To a Contemporary Bunkshooter".[2][3] Chicago Poet by Carl Sandburg - Famous poems ... - All Poetry
