My head is just not in this space right now. Between my upcoming surgery, the pain I’m currently in, the flood and the aftermath of the flood, the election, and the world in general I do not have the bandwidth for this.

Reading these because I live five blocks from Masters' house where he lived when he wrote these poems! There's a performance of some of his work with period music *in his house* this weekend that I'll be going to.

A wonderful exercise in full characterization in limited words. I felt like an investigator sitting in a cemetery, eavesdropping on so many ghostly explanations for their deaths, their dramas in life, and the many crimes committed in this small Midwestern town.

MS/HS Poems
Masters, Edgar Lee. Spoon River Anthology (Macmillan & Co., 1915).
The poems in this anthology are a collection of would be epitaphs of several residents of the fictional town of Spoon River. The epitaphs are written by the dead themselves. They tell of times when they were alive. Some tell about the bad things did in their life and others tell about their achievements. Some characters that Masters writes about were based on people that h knew. Not an easy read, but enjoyable for those that tend to like horror and the supernatural.
