What Sparks Poetry:
Marianne Boruch on Carl Sandburg's "Limited"
"A solid first person speaker lives in, and guides Sandburg’s poem which is both contained and expansive in its imagery, those steely trains so tightly made crossing a continent of grassland and farms and woods and cities and poverty and fortune. There’s thinking (via assertion and the underground parenthetical) and conversation in the piece, a sense of myth and miraculous in the ordinary, rust and ashes waiting in what is snappy-fast and gleaming. Nothing is as it seems." |
