About DBpedia

The aim of the poems is to demystify rural and small town American life. The collection includes 212 separate characters, in all providing 244 accounts of their lives, losses, and manner of death. Many of the poems contain cross-references that create an unabashedly candid tapestry of the community.

Spoon River Anthology) è una collezione di poesie in versi liberi scritta dal poeta americano Edgar Lee Masters e pubblicata tra il 1914 e il 1915 sul Reedy's Mirror di Saint Louis, Missouri, una rivista letteraria, per la quale l'autore utilizzò lo pseudonimo di Webster Ford. Ogni poesia racconta, in forma di epitaffio, la vita dei residenti dell'immaginario paesino di Spoon River - il cui nome deriva da quello di un omonimo fiume realmente esistente - che scorre vicino a Lewistown, città di residenza di Masters - sepolti nel cimitero locale. Lo scopo di Masters è quello di demistificare la realtà di una piccola cittadina rurale americana, con rimandi incrociati che permettono di allargare lo sguardo sull'intera comunità. La raccolta include 212 diversi personaggi, per ognuno dei quali si forniscono informazioni sulle vite, sulle loro sconfitte, la cagione della morte. (it) Spoon River Anthology – tom wierszy amerykańskiego poety Edgara Lee Mastersa, będący jego najsławniejszym dziełem, kilkakrotnie tłumaczonym na język polski, między innymi jako Umarli ze Spoon River. Książka stanowi zbiór monologów dramatycznych (w stylu Alfreda Tennysona i Roberta Browninga) wypowiadanych przez osoby nieżyjące. Została opublikowana w 1915. Zawiera 245 tekstów. Zmarli, którzy mogą się już nie obawiać o konsekwencje swoich wypowiedzi, mogą również pozwolić sobie na szczerość. Mówią przeważnie o swoim zmarnowanym życiu, niespełnionych marzeniach i niezrealizowanych planach. Spoon River jest fikcyjnym miastem ulokowanym w stanie Illinois. Zbiór był początkowo kontrowersyjny, ponieważ ukazywał prawdziwy, a dotąd ukrywany obraz małych miasteczek amerykańskich i ich obywateli, którzy w ujęciu Mastersa wcale nie byli tak moralni jak tego od nich oczekiwano. Po latach stał się jedną z najważniejszych książek poetyckich w dwudziestowiecznej literaturze amerykańskiej. Monologi są napisane wierszem wolnym. W 1963 cykl Mastersa został zaadaptowany na potrzeby teatru i wystawiony na Broadwayu. Zobacz też: Umarli ze Spoon River (spektakl) (pl)
