Edgar
Lee Masters painted
a portrait of American life by imagining the voices of Spoon
River Cemetery. After reading his work with some of my classes,
I asked them to give voice to someone who has died. This person
could be real or imaginary, personally known to the poet or at
some distance, a celebrity perhaps.
To the poets: If you wish
to make any changes in your poems, just let me know and it will
be done. Comment via the form below.
