Sandburg first excited atten-, tion in the literary world withi the language of the people in! eluding slang, and the. topics of the everyday world. "Slang," he once said, "is the language that rolls up its sleeves, spits on its hands and goes to work." His first volume was "Chica- Poems," published in 1915.

This was followed by several volumes of poetry and "Roota- baga Stories" he wrote for children. He won the first of two Pulitzer Prizes in 1940 for his four- volume "Abraham Lincoln: The War Years." His second was for "Complete Poems," produced in 1951. In 1959, the 81-year-old Sandburg told a joint session of Congress, commemorating the 150th anniversary of Lincoln's birth: Not often in the story mankind does a man arrive on! earth who is hard as a rock and! soft as drifting fog. who holds in! lis heart and mind the paradox! of terrible storm and peace un-i speakable and perfect."
