The American Songbag is an anthology of American folksongs compiled by the poet Carl Sandburg and published by Harcourt, Brace and Company in 1927. It was enormously popular [1] and was in print continuously for more than seventy years. [2] Melodies from it were used in Alec Wilder's Names from the War (1961).
Chicago Poems established Sandburg as a major figure in contemporary literature. [5] Chicago Poems , and its follow-up volumes of verse, Cornhuskers (1918) and Smoke and Steel (1920) represent Sandburg's attempts to found an American version of social realism, writing expansive verse in praise of American agriculture and industry.
