Synopsis

1978 HBJ hardcover, B printing. Carl Sandburg (Abe Lincoln Grows Up). Planned for the centennial of Carl Sandburg's birth, this collection of previously unpublished work, edited by his daughter, reiterates the concerns which brought millions of readers to 30-odd previous books. Lifelong fans will devour this volume for its familiar interweavings of country landscapes and history, the everyday yearnings, passions, and ""good dreams"" of the living described in the title poem as ""worth dying for.""- Kirkus Review
