Sandburg's many voices

Since each Sanburg poem in this cycle is read skillfully by a different actor, the listener gets a hightened impression of the poet's many voices. Sanburg's poetry is like 'The Spoon River Anthology', a motley crowd of speakers. I enjoyed listening to this production even more than the recordings by Sandburg himself.
