Spoon River Anthology by Edgar Lee Masters.
Many thanks to Alys for suggesting this poetry classic! She said it well:
Target completion date of this project: 15-January-2007 ...FIRM! =)Alys wrote:This is a collection of poems, in the form of an entire community speaking from beyond the grave about their lives, and, in some cases, gossiping about their neighbors' lives. It's interesting to see how other people perceive a particular character, and how that character responds to that.
A summary I found online says it's a "collection of post-mortem autobiographical �epitaphs,� 244 former citizens of the fictional Spoon River, Illinois tell us the truth about their lives�with the honesty no fear of consequences enables."
