Poezie je svět, který nelze nakreslit, vyfotografovat nebo zfilmovat. Něco, co se připomene třeba až po dlouhých letech. Poezie je pojmenováním pro to, co člověk sám pojmenovat neumí, ale teprve když je to pojmenované, může o tom začít myslet. Pocity, které by si nepřiznal, pocity, které neznal. Zhoupnutí se na vlnách jazyka, hudby slov, rytmu slabik. Víc asi nic. A asi by se o ní ani nemělo psát. A o básnících teprve ne. Já vím.

"What Sandburg knew and said was what America knew from the beginning and said from the beginning and has not yet, no matter what is believed of her, forgotten how to say," wrote Archibald MacLeish about Carl Sandburg - that most American of poets - and his connection to the American psyche.

"One may read and appreciate the book for its scholarship and the cultural insights it offers on the pre-World War One era, but I suspect that most readers will delight in the emerging and appealing love story of Carl and Lillian. In our rather nihilistic age, "The Poet and the Dream Girl" acts as a kind of moral and philosophical tonic, making one believe again in all the possibilities for art, love, and social reform so passionately and beautifully espoused in these pages." - Dan Guillory, "Illinois Books.

Ertepelsko je pohádková vybájená země, ve které je povoleno vše, co jen fantazii vypravěče a dětí může napadnout. Je plná rozpustilostí, ale i toho, co v sobě skrývá každá pohádka: na konci spousty příběhů je ukryta nějaká životní moudrost, která se třeba může zdát neupotřebitelná v našem světě, ale pro život v Ertepelsku je naprosto nezbytná.
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 writing- life, love, and death. Strongly lyrical, these intensely honest poems testify to human courage, frailty, and tenderness and to the enduring wonders of nature.
A representative selection of poems, culled from the Pulitzer Prize-winning poet’s published verse, plus thirteen poems appearing in book form for the first time. “[Sandburg’s poetry] is independent, honest, direct, lyric, and it endures, clamorous and muted, magical as life itself” (New York Times). Introduction by Mark Van Doren.
Charakteristickou formou volného nerýmovaného verše oslavuje autor, představitel moderní americké poezie, zázraky průmyslové civilizace. Opájí se ruchem velkoměsta, hřmotem továren i krásou mrakodrapů. Citlivě reaguje na sociální nesrovnalosti a vyslovuje svůj zásadní odpor k válce a jejímstrůjcům. Sbírka vznikla těsně po první světové válce.
Sbírka veršů whitmanovského ražení je dílem význačného soudobého básníka Spojených států, který v letech první světové války objevil pro americkou poezii věk průmyslové techniky. Jeho básně, proniknuté obdivem k přírodě, jsou protestem proti zbožnění stroje a honbě za penězi, zároveň však pokusem obnovit, na vyšší stupeň přivést narušenou, degradovanou osobnost pracujícího člověka, ukázat radostné možnosti pospolitého života. Doslov Antonín Přidal.
