The topic for this event, “Illinois Poets,” will include the work of Pulitzer Prize-winning poet and biographer Carl Sandburg who was often called the “poet of the people.” Emeritus Professor Jeffrey Skoblow, who organized two previous Literary Salons for MCHS, reaches out to friends, as well as students attending SIUE and Edwardsville High School to recruit a group of poetry readers who are enthusiastic about the works they present. Both previous events were well attended with appreciative audiences.
