Carl Sandburg
Carl August Sandburg (January 6, 1878 – July 22, 1967) was an American poet, writer, and editor. He won three Pulitzer Prizes: two for his poetry and one for his biography of Abraham Lincoln.

Johnson observed that "Carl Sandburg was more than the voice of America, more than the poet of its strength and genius.
