Spoon River has 244 accounts of the lives of people in the town that explain its goings on over a couple of centuries. Each free form verse is presented as an epitaph of one of the citizens delivered themselves, often criticizing the words said about them on their tombstone or the monument or stone left above them. The stories build on one another as well as reference various family members and others mentioned in other stories.

FLAT!
Revisado: 01-07-12
What would have made Spoon River Anthology better?
I find the tone too pessimistic and depressing.
What was most disappointing about Edgar Lee Masters’s story?
Masters seems to be a misogynist with a very poor opinion of marriage, and family life in general.
Would you be willing to try another one of Deaver Brown’s performances?
No, I found his delivery flat and irritating. His performance, especially of the poems from the women's perspective, sounded to me like an aging English professor who couldn't care less about what he was reading.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Disappointment, as a good friend loves this work, and so I had high hopes. Poetry is not my favorite genre anyway- this was definitely not the work, nor the recording, that would change my mind.
