Anecdote: this poem is based on a real travel experience to Galesburg, IL in June 2010. The poem was developed from the vivid pictures and images taken my Carol Marcus, a devoted friend of many years. Author's Notes: "Carl Sandburg...." Is a beautiful portrait of life in rusting America, how what happens in far off Washington affects a small town, it couples images of the land with the ghosts of its people.
