harvest poems-Carl Sandburg

This is the book I would take with me if I was stranded on a deserted island. Actually, I take it with me on every fishing and camping trip. It is a compact book which contains all of Carl Sandburg's most popular poems. I have 'The complete poems of Carl Sandburg' and it is a great book to have at home. However, it is too big to take anywhere with you. 'Harvest Poems' is a small paper back which costs less than $10 and contains my favorite poems "Chicago' and "Under a harvest moon" . It is sure to contain your favorite Sandburg poems too. If you are unfamiliar with this poet you might find a new favorite here. This is not poetry in the traditional sense. It does not rhyme. It will affect you down to your very core. I hope you give it a chance and enjoy it as much as I do.
