Honey and Salt

A collection from the Pulitzer Prizewinning American poet with "a sharp lively wit and a tender approach to the human condition" (The Philadelphia Inquirer).

Though he was also renowned as a biographer of Abraham Lincoln, Carl Sandburg was first and foremost a poetupon his death, President Lyndon B. Johnson said "Carl Sandburg was more than the voice of America, more than the poet of its strength and genius. He was America."

In this outstanding collection of seventy-seven poems, Sandburg eloquently celebrates the themes that engaged him as a poet for more than half a century of writinglife, love, and death. Strongly lyrical, these intensely honest poems testify to human courage, frailty, and tenderness and to the enduring wonders of nature.

"A poetic genius whose creative power has in no way lessened with the passing years." Chicago Tribune
