Synopsis

The dead citizens of Spoon River recite poems about their lives, their town, and their sorrows. Each poem is an epitaph, containing fragments of the town's history. Instantly successful upon its publication in 1915, "Spoon River Anthology" is an unconventional work that explores the gripping but often bleak truths about life in a small American town.
