Content Warnings

Moderate: Death and War

Minor: Alcoholism, Murder, Cancer, Sexual assault, War, Pregnancy, and Abortion

This book is a series of epitaphs, so of course death is a major theme. Being set in the past war is very present; rape is the focus of one poem, but it's just suggested, not graphic

Molto originale nella struttura e nell'idea, questa antologia non si limita ad essere un epitaffio degli abitanti di Spoon River per ricordali semplicemente alla posterità, ma è un miscuglio di dubbi esistenziali, rimpianti, pensieri aforistici (o no) sulla vita. È ciò che i morti direbbero se potessero parlare.
