Synopsis
The dead citizens of Spoon River recite poems about their lives, their town, and their sorrows. Each poem is an epitaph, containing fragments of the town’s history. Instantly successful upon its publication in 1915, “Spoon River Anthology” is an unconventional work that explores the gripping but often bleak truths about life in a small American town.

From the Back Cover
This first illustrated, annotated version of the American classic was highly praised when it was first released, as much for John Hallwas's insightful introduction as for the work of Edgar Lee Masters.
About the Author
Edgar Lee Masters was born in 1868 in Garnett, Kansas. He achieved fame in 1915 with the publication of Spoon River Anthology. Though he never matched the success of Spoon River Anthology, Masters was a prolific writer of diverse works. He published several volumes of poems including The Great Valley (1916), Along the Illinois (1942), The Serpent in the Wilderness (1933), and Invisible Landscapes (1935). In the 1940s he was awarded the Poetry Society of America medal, the Shelley Memorial Award, and the Academy of American Poets Fellowship. Edgar Lee Masters died in Melrose, Pennsylvania, in 1950 and is buried in Petersburg, Illinois.
