The Best of Studs Terkel returns to 1964 and to two different conversations, each with a great 20th Century American poet.
The Gwendolyn Brooks (1917-2000) program opens as she recites her 1945 poem, Negro Hero.
Studs gathered his discussion with Carl Sandburg (1878-1967) on his portable tape recorder, and their free form dialogue touched on Sandburg’s massive collection of folk songs The American Songbag, his commercial recordings, Chicago, Beatniks, and more.
