+Edwin Meade Robinson+--poet, novelist.
Born at Lima, Indiana, 1879. Not related to Edwin Arlington Robinson.
Newspaper man, first on the _Indianapolis Sentinel_, later on the
_Cleveland Plain Dealer_, in which he conducts a column. Besides his
successful volume of verse, _Piping and Panning_, 1920, Mr. Robinson has
published a novel which has attracted attention as an honest record of a
growing boy, _Enter Jerry_, 1920. For reviews, see _Book Review Digest_,
1920, 1921.
+Carl Sandburg+--poet.
Born at Galesburg, Illinois, of Swedish stock. Has little schooling but
wide experience of life. At thirteen drove a milk wagon, and for the next
six years did all kinds of rough work--as porter in a barber shop,
scene-shifter, truck-handler in a brickyard, turner apprentice in a
pottery, dishwasher in hotels, harvest hand in Kansas.
During the Spanish-American War served as private in Porto Rico.
Studied at Lombard College, Galesburg, 1898-1902, where he was captain
of the basket-ball team and editor-in-chief of the college paper.
After leaving college, earned his living in various ways--as advertising
manager for a department store, salesman, newspaperman, "safety first"
expert. Worked also as district organizer for the Social-Democratic party
of Wisconsin and was secretary to the mayor of Milwaukee, 1910-12.
In 1904 he had published a small pamphlet of poems, but his first real
appearance before the public was in _Poetry_, 1914. In the same year he
was awarded the Levinson prize for his "Chicago." In 1918 he shared with
Margaret Widdemer (q.v.) the prize of the Poetry Society of America; and
in 1921, shared this with Stephen Vincent Benét (q.v.).
Mr. Sandburg has a good voice and sings his poems to the accompaniment of
the guitar.
