In 1915, Edgar Lee Masters published The Spoon River Anthology, a book of 244 poems spoken by the deceased residents of Spoon River (a rural area in Illinois) from their graves on "the hill". The book created a stir because many of the supposedly fictional speakers were recognizable as real people. The poems are remarkable for the breadth of personalities and the honesty with which they speak. All the poems were written in free verse, which puts them outside the scope of this "formalist" anthology. Nonetheless, I include some here because they are moving and haunting. These poems are food for my spirit like no other. I recommend this book more strongly than any other book of poetry. – Editor The Hill Minerva Jones Doc Hill Sarah Brown ... Lucinda Matlock

In the Anthology, the dead in an Illinois graveyard relay, in matter-of-fact but haunting tones, details from their lives. The Anthology was original, provocative and influentual. Its literary significance has been compared with Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass [published in 1855]. Masters wove a thread of partial reality throughout the Anthology. Many of the characters and their experiences can be identified with former residents of Lewistown and Petersburg, Illinois. Masters' used his childhood experiences in these two communities, as a basis for the poems.

Masters, Edgar Lee was born in 1869 at Garnett, Kansas, and grew up in Lewistown, Illinois. His family was poor. As a result, he never graduated from college, but managed to study law and become an attorney at the age of 27. Through hard work and self- determination, he became a partner of the famous defense attorney, Clarence Darrow. However, being a lawyer and working with Clarence Darrow didn't make him famous or prestigious. It was his poems, which were compiled into a volume, known as "The Spoon River Anthology," which attracted the attention of the public and led to his fame. This anthology consists of more than 200 short poems in free verse. Additionally, he wrote a verse play called "Manila" based upon the collection. So, what is Spoon River? Well, Spoon River is an imaginary Midwestern village, based on Lewiston, Illinois , and each of the poems includes comments and opinions of former residents of the village who are now dead and buried in the Spoon River cemetery. These people contemplate the meaning of their lives by recalling their contributions and personal or family histories. Besides the Spoon River Anthology, Edgar Lee Masters completed other works including "Maximilian" (1902), a volume of poetry and series of essays on imperialism; "The New Star Chamber and Other Essays" (1904), a collection of essays written during the 1900 presidential campaign; and "The Blood of the Prophets" (1905), a compilations of poems related to anti-imperialism.

Edgar Lee Masters (1869-1950) Contributing Editor: Ronald Primeau Classroom Issues and Strategies Some students expecteven demandthat poetry be very "difficult" to be deemed worthwhile. When Masters is relatively simple in form and message, that throws them. To address this issue, talk about popular arts, the oral tradition, the enormous popularity of Spoon River , and the fact that all poetry need not be academic. Masters provides a good chance to talk with students about what they think poetry is or ought to be and how the literary establishment can or cannot control popular opinion. Use some multimedia presentations, reading out loud. Bring in some actors from university theater. Students are interested in events from the poet's life and factors that led him to write this kind of poetry. They wonder how any book of poems could have been that popular. No TV back then, they suspect. Major Themes, Historical Perspectives, and Personal Issues Consider what it means to live in small-town America, how it is attractive to try to sum up a lifetime on a gravestone, the importance of peer pressure and what others think. Think about Masters's life as a lawyer and how that affected his poetry. Significant Form, Style, or Artistic Conventions

32. Darrow Poems By Edgar Lee Masters Three poems about Clarence Darrow by his former law partner, edgar lee masters. http://www.law.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/DARPOEM.HTM

Clarence Darrow This is Darrow, Inadequately scrawled, with his young, old heart, And his drawl, and his infinite paradox And his sadness, and kindness, And his artist sense that drives him to shape his life To something harmonious, even against the schemes of God. Edgar Lee Masters (1922) On a Bust A giant as we hoped, in truth, a dwarf; A barrel of slop that shines on Lethe's wharf', Which at first seemed a vessel with sweet wine For thirsty lips. So down the swift decline You went through sloven spirit, craven heart And cynic indolence. And here the art Of molding clay has caught you for the nonce And made your shame our shame Your head in bronze! Edgar Lee Masters (1916) Darrow 2 (unpublished) This is a man with an old face, always old... There was pathos, in his face, and in his eyes. The early weariness; and sometimes tears in his eyes, Which he let slip unconsciously on his cheek, Or brushed away with an unconcerned hand. There were tears for human suffering, or for a glance Into the vast futility of life, Which he had seen from the first, being old
