About this title: In this outstanding collection of seventy-seven poems, Sandburg eloquently celebrates the themes that engaged him as a poet for more than half a century of writing- life, love, and death. Strongly lyrical, these intensely honest poems testify to human courage, frailty, and tenderness and to the enduring wonders of nature.

"Some of these are not so good. Portions of others are.
"Come clean with a child heart. Laugh as peaches in the summer wind. Let rain on a house roof be a song. Let the writing on your face be a smell of apple orchards in late June."
"Sandburg's poems read like fluid conversations about love, life, and death. If it's even possible, which now I am convinced that it is, the title poem captures the essence of love perfectly. Read it aloud. It is one of my favorites."
"Loved this one. I always enjoy reading poetry, but sometimes I find big compilation books of poems daunting and they sit on my shelf. This book was just the right size for me to completely digest; and all the poems were lovely. "Almanac" was my favorite."
"Carl Sandburg had a most interesting way of looking at things, then analyzing what he saw and felt. This is my favorite Sandburg book. I've bought about a dozen copies for friends, I've read and re-read the poems that spoke most to me.
Who else could say, "God gets up in the morning and says, 'Another day?' God is no gentleman because he gets up in the morning and puts on overalls and gets dirty running the universe - and several other universes nobody knows about but him."
And "How can we be pals when you speak English and I speak English and I don't understand you and you don't understand me?"
