yeah, it is easy to see why sandburg isn't the critical favorite. he gets a bit prosey at times. i don't know what it is about him that i like so much. i expect i'll be a fan of whitman when i get to reading him, since he was such an influence on sandburg. really, if you've read chicago and fog, you've read the best of his work. there are some others i like a lot. it's late tonight, but i'll post some of the other poems that i'm fond of.
