The Poet and Dream Girl: The Love Letters of Lilian Steichen and Carl Sandburg

“These letters reveal the thoughts of two fine, strong minds drawn to each other first by their interest in socialism, then by their love of poetry and a similarity of ethics and ideals. My mother recognized this in his early prose and poetry. They learned so much about each other from these letters, yet it seems extraordinary that there was so little personal contact.”– From the introduction by Margaret Sandburg
