Carl Sandburg Is Greatest Drawing Card of Institute
Great American Poet Plays Guitar To Illustrate His Song Bag
By Nedra MacNamara Carl Sandburg, whom Dr. Lowe introduced as the most outstanding man in American letters, was the last lecturer of this first session of the Winter Institute of Literature. His lecture Monday morning, in the Biltmore lounge, was on “Good Morning America” which at one time he delivered at Harvard University as a Phi Beta Kappa address.
Before reading his poem, Mr. Sandburg read thirty-eight definitions of poetry written by himself, some of them original to the extreme. The one which he seemed to like best was “Poetry is a pack-sack of invisible keepsakes”..

He told also of an amusing thing that happened to one of his poems. “Manufactured Gods”. It w-as published some time ago in a magazine and was considered so blasphemous that one subscriber cancelled his subscription because of it. Not long ago, this same poem was published in an Anthology of the World’s Great Religious Poetry.
