		this poem was submitted as an entry for a poetry competition organized by the chicago town hall in 1910; it won first prize, and sandburg's career as a poet had begun.
		forceful poems like 'chicago' were like a breath of fresh air to pound and eliot (the architects of the poetic revolution of the 1920s), inspiring them to break the shackles of victorian prosody and cut through the insipidity of the georgians with their own distinct voice.
		Sandburg's Chicago that will not deign to disguise her vices or be shamed into silence by her coarseness.

	Poetry
		Chicago's long tradition as a center of poetic culture has two key aspects: Chicago has been a fertile ground for innovative poetic movements through publishing activity, and the city itself has provided a subject with which poets have grappled.
		Chicago's poetry entered the national arena with Harriet Monroe's “Columbian Ode” (1893), a poem commissioned for the World's Columbian Exposition.
		But Chicago's poetry scene did not focus only on international poetry: during the Chicago Literary Renaissance, Carl Sandburg, Edgar Lee Masters, and other poets writing about Chicago and the Midwest reached national and international audiences.

	Chicago Literary Renaissance
		Between the Great Fire of 1871 and the mid-twentieth century, there were at least three surges of Chicago writing that helped shape the development of American literature.
		The University of Chicago nurtured both literary and social scientific exploration of urban life.
		European and expatriate high modernism eclipsed Chicago realism by the late 1920s, when an exodus of novelists, poets, editors, critics, and reporters from Chicago to points east marked the waning of Chicago literature's second wave.

		Most sharply confrontational is Chicago Poems, which appeared at at time when Sandburg was active both in socialist politics and in literary circles.
		Other materials, particularly reviews of Chicago Poems and correspondence between Sandburg, his publisher, and the critics, present another, less visible side to the relationship between politics and poetry: They show the power of literary and publishing establishments to suppress or reinterpret writing that questions their received values.
		Thus, even though Chicago Poems offers significant potential for destabilizing the boundary between literary art and political life, the rhetoric mustered by the critics in response to Sandburg had (and continues to have) great power to reestablish this boundary and thereby blunt the radical critique that Sandburg's work offers.

	Poetry Daily Prose Feature - Campbell McGrath on Place, the Prose Poem, and the State of Poetry in America
		Chicago is a place where McGrath lived and returned frequently, but he also immortalized it in his award winning book, Spring Comes to Chicago.
		But that poem couldn't be any smaller to contain the set of ideas and reflections that are in it, and here is the truth – I did not make that determination, the poem did.
		This poem is not a narrative but a symphonic structure, with themes and motifs that recur, interconnect, shift, evolve – the poem is internal, and the form tries to mirror the free-floating consciousness of its narrator on one snowy day in Chicago.

	Winter Week 1
		Theodore Dreiser (1871-1945) was born in Indiana and came to Chicago as a teenager.
		He worked in Chicago and other cities (including New York) as a journalist before turning to fiction and becoming arguably the leading figure of a generation of young realist authors who transformed American literature in respect to subject, theme, and form.
		Among these are the rise of the city, how newcomers experienced Chicago, class and gender relations in the city, the place of art and culture in Chicago, the world of skyscrapers and department stores and apartment buildings, the values of domesticity.

	Chicago Resistance
		These early practitioners discovered the City of Chicago as a possible literary subject, and they were the first generation to document its unique scenery, speech rhythms, ethnic dialects, and diverse occupations.
		There is no trace of gentility in this poem; it shatters forever the old, genteel assumptions about proper form and content by including allusions to prostitutes ("painted women"), murderers (the gunman who goes "free to kill again"), and the urban poor (women and children whose faces are marked by "wanton hunger").
		I have always thought that "Fog," the other famous poem in the book, may well have been written as a kind of coda or footnote to "Chicago." Its brevity and seductive gentleness create a memorable antithesis to the urban hustle and bustle of the longer work.

		“After the Death of a Nephew” is an early poem by Galway Kinnell.
		The poem’s meditation on the possibility of transcendence in the face of mortality anticipates a theme Kinnell will return to again and again over the course of his career; its loosely stanzaic form exemplifies his interest in finding musicality within the rhythms of the speaking voice.
		Kinnell would publish several other poems in Chicago Review, including his celebrated poem, “The Still Time,” in the Summer 1975 issue.
