A landmark of 20th-century American literature: a series of over 200 compelling free-verse monologues in which former citizens of a mythical Midwestern town speak touchingly from the grave of the thwarted hopes and dreams of their lives. Reprinted from the authoritative 1915 edition.
Here are Masters's dramatic monologues written in free verse about
a fictional Midwestern town called Spoon River. The dead, "sleeping
on the hill" in their village cemetery, awaken to tell the truth
about their lives, toppling the myth of the moral superiority of
small-town life.
