A review by leasttorque
Spoon River Anthology by Dover Thrift Editions, Edgar Lee Masters

4.0

My husband and I read this to each other sporadically over the course of a few years during our daytime rest breaks. Neither of us has any talent for poetry comprehension, but enough of it was accessible for us to get the bulk of what Masters was saying.

Of course, the story behind this work is equally fascinating. Masters had some serious guts.

I highly recommend Richard Buckner’s The Hill as a sonic accompaniment.
