	State of Illinois - Rod Blagojevich, Governor
		Carl Sandburg (January 6, 1878--July 22, 1967), poet, essayist, biographer, and folk musician, was born Carl August Sandburg in Galesburg, Illinois, the son of August Sandburg, a railroad flsmith's helper, and Clara Mathilda Anderson.
		Sandburg then set out from Galesburg as a migratory laborer, shuffling from job to job in Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, and Colorado, traveling often by train as was the case with so many other American “hoboes.” During this time, Sandburg took on the sort of work his poems would later detail in rugged, realistic terms.
		Sandburg dallied, argued, and professed poetry with some of the key figures of the day, those who were serious about the notion of a new twentieth-century American poetry standing in stark contrast to the genteel poetry of the previous century.

	Cornhuskers by Carl Sandburg, ISBN: 1419114085 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Sandburg was a poet who seemed to find personal meaning largely in the present moment, and thus, while Cornhuskers records and occasionally celebrates the agricultural year and the people who live by it, death, mortality, and the transience of all things is a continuous motif.
		Sandburg was a poet of observation, and those reflected in Cornhuskers are almost continually pensive: sorrow, loneliness, unfulfilled longing, and human isolation color the Midwestern landscape.
		Sandburg writes, "I speak of new cities and new people." In "Cornhuskers," he created one of the first great poetic testaments of the 20th century.
