Spoon River Anthology by Edgar Lee Masters
Deemed essential in the canon of American literature, this audiobook masterpiece performed in its entirety by a full cast of fifty makes the classic accessible to everyone. From a cemetery in a fictional mid-American town, the dead speak the truths about their lives. Some speak of hardships and sordid affairs, while others speak of their simple, honest, happy lives. Some are elderly and others are youthful or children, but mortality has claimed them all. Their voices reach us deeply--alternately plaintive, anguished, enigmatic, angry, contemptuous, and comedic, evoking themes of love, hope, disappointment, despair, and abiding faith. As the Spoon River residents examine their lives, they invite us to do the same.Edgar Lee Masters was born in Garnett, Kansas, in 1868. After the release of Spoon River Anthology in 1915, he rose to prominence. Masters was a prolific writer of varied works, yet he never surpassed the success of Spoon River Anthology. The Big Valley (1916), Along the Illinois (1942), The Snake in the Wilderness (1933), and Invisible Landscapes (1935) are only a few of his poetry collections. The Poetry Society of America medal, the Shelley Memorial Award, and the Academy of American Poets Fellowship were all given to him in the 1940s. Edgar Lee Masters was born in Melrose, Pennsylvania, and died in Petersburg, Illinois, in 1950.
