Spoon River Anthology by Edgar Lee Masters (1868 - 1950)

English, Literature, 1 season, 246 episodes, 6 hours, 10 minutes
About
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 hear how other people perceive a particular character, and how that character responds.
