Cat Whispurrer Quote of the Day
Let a joy keep you. Reach out your hands and take it when it runs by. ~ Carl Sandburg

American poet, songwriter, and journalist Carl Sandburg played an essential role in the Chicago renaissance of the early 20th century. He won two Pulitzer Prizes ~ one for poetry and the other for history. He was born in Illinois in 1878, and when he was 19, hopped a westbound train and lived as a hobo. His poetry is filled with slang and the language of ordinary Americans, and his published works include Chicago Poems, Cornhuskers, and the children's series, Rootabaga Stories. He died in 1967.
