Description: Spoon River Anthology Poems Edgar Lee Masters 1923 Macmillan Company In this collection of poems, through the voices of townspeople who have already died, Masters revealed that the Midwestern small towns were just as bad as the big cities. The poem 'Amanda Barker' explores one of Masters' favorite themes, that small town folks hide secrets from one another. Edgar Lee Masters's Spoon River Anthology was an immediate commercial success when it was published in 1915. Unconventional in both style and content, it shattered the myths of small town American life. A collection of epitaphs of residents of a small town, a full understanding of Spoon River requires the reader to piece together narratives from fragments contained in individual poems."
