- Although his father never learned to read and seemed to question the inherent value of literacy, Carl Sandburg’s mother loved books and encouraged their appreciation.

Ultimately, Sandburg rose to the highest literary circles of his day-and yet he was able to come to terms with his father’s tradesman persona and view him as a man “superior to books.” So he says in this absorbing 1958 interview. The conversation, steered by the network’s Director of Public Affairs Service Programs, Edward Stanley, encompasses early political experiences from Sandburg’s childhood; his college years and subsequent hobo wanderlust; his attempt to discover a basic definition of poetry; and detailed discussions centered on his Lincoln series. Sandburg also reads his poem “Phizzog” and performs folk songs.

I realize he's a poet, so his eloquence with words was likely unmatched even by anyone of his generation. But boy do I wish there was someone who spoke like this today. There is such a cadence to his speech that he's basically speaking with melody, as others have pointed out. It's easy to forget that speaking is an art form in itself.
I remember my grandma speaking with melody. Not all the time, but especially when she told stories of her past. Rapturous it was. Sure do miss her.
What a fascinating way of speaking this man had. Suffused with music and poetry, arising long before radio and television began ironing out regional variations and dialects.
He was the best american poet of his generation.
Illinois Swede
@@Reitz86 yes, his beautiful, lilting voice is something to behold.
A man of incredible majesty and poetic excellence. His knowledge of life, he'd earned. His knowledge of Lincoln, he shared, Thank God. A master of the subject. We'll not see his like again.
This was throughly enjoyable. I am impressed with his singing voice and intellect. I can tell he held Lincoln in high esteem and reverence.
Astounding
Here , at 78 years old, Carl kept his health very nicely.
The Poet possesses clear & unique grip of words with a certain thought. Level of confidence for a thought is matchless...Inspiring..
Years ago, I met his daughter, Helga, who was married to Dr Crile of the Cleveland Clinic heritage. She was a wonderfully “hippy” woman in her later years!!! What an enchanting evening together!!! Jeb Hallett
Wow!
This man loves words.. spoken and written..
From a son of the 'Burg (where CS was born)...
Hope you don't mind a little share.
It's another way I'd like to care:
"When the sidewalk finally ends
are there ever many friends?
Though you hope there's still a maybe,
and you'd wish't you'd made amends.
"Where does the sidewalk really end?
Emerging from the dark & deep,
feels like you got the bends.
"BEYOND the edge of town,
hard not to wear a stony frown.
Lonely days & endless nights
gradually wear you down."

"I reckon I'd better be like a brother grimm and get gritty with it.
She beckons the other he and gets dizzy with him.
We step off the kerb & make chizzy fo' trips,
we dyin' like flies in the window, so sick of this shit."

One of my faveorite figures in history. I love his poems. This is a great video thanks for providing this educational masterpiece!
An amazing and very beloved writer........thank you so much for this !!!!!!!❤
This seems to be the man upon which Garrison Keillor modeled himself. It's almost uncanny.
so beautiful.
Amazing. And comforting.
Imagine his wife asking him what he wants for breakfast: “Well dear, that’s got me thinkin’ about me old Dad grinding flour on a Kentucky millstone and the maple trees bending in the winter breeze…”
Wife: “Ok dear, I’ll make pancakes.”
“... a hot first draft.” Love it.
I'm from the town Carl Sandburg was born in. We even have a community college named after him.
This is all I've heard from him, but from what I've little heard, the way that he mysteriously plays that guitar and sings away the end of the video, was more like a character in a book that a human being, I would imagine that he would meander, after this, mysteriously to vanish without a trace from any sight, into the distance, while his music whistled mysteriously away to become part of the naked scenery around it. Then for the town around him to be so awed, that it will build a huge structure in his place, just at the crossroads from where he had visited, and that crossroads forever become a school due to the song he sang.
That's is the mysterious story I'll dream about because you didn't leave a note or any information about how the school was founded other than that it did got founded from his name.
Visited a month ago. A Very pretty town. The loveliest result of this trip was to discover a great poet and a great person. I saw every house he lived in. I got the book with his all poems. I could have been a big loss for me as an outsider not to know his poetry.
@@utahdan231 Glad to hear that you went to Galesburg & visited his house.
Great Uncle Benny owned the Hotel Custer in Galesburg. He maintained the Carl Sandburg suite, complete with his guitar. It was stolen.
Even Sandburg had a nice clear voice in his elderly years.
Guitar player. Talented man!
Everytime I'm inspired to write. I read Carl first.
Ha-what a hoot! What a treat!
amazing person
A time gone by. Horses horses everywhere horses. Folksy stuff, A bit of splashy and it works. Does anybody know the name of that last song.
If someone walked up and talked to you like this, you'd be like what.in.the.fuck, man????
The People's poet.

Poet Carl Sandburg called Chicago the "City of the Big Shoulders."
The name Chicago comes from the Indian word Checagou.
nice
Fascinating, and kinda weird, man
Walt Whitman, Edward Arlington Robinson, Robert Frost, Vachel Lindsay, Edgar Lee Masters, THOMAS (what?), Edwin Ford Piper. Can anyone help with that poet's name which is missing to my ears?
Thomas Hornsby Ferril
@@joshholm3274 thanks
He seems to speak with a bit of an Irish accent. I find this rather curious given that he came from Scandinavian roots.
A haus. That was my love before automobiles Bartender hey Another!
Friends with Marilyn Monroe!!!!! 😇🙏🎉🎊💞💕😎
No wonder Marilyn Monroe adore him!
Sounds like he's reading a poem. But he ain't
What kind of a way of talking is this?
An interesting one.
