I Edgar Lee Masters' Spoon River Antologi fra 1915 fortæller de døde på kirkegården i byen Spoon River om deres liv og død blandt andre mennesker. Leonard Forslunds billeder er som en langsom biltur gennem den amerikanske forstadsby, hvor de døde engang levede. En kunstbog i samme serie som Cai-Ulrich von Platens illustrerede udgave af H. C. Andersens Fodreise fra Holmens Canal og Helle Frøsigs billedsuite til Christa Wolfs historiske roman Intet sted. Intet.
A literary sensation when it appeared in 1915, "Spoon River Anthology" earned Edgar Lee Masters comparisons to T. S. Eliot and Walt Whitman. The characters who speak here tarnish the pure image of their Midwestern hamlet by holding forth from the grave with tales of illicit love affairs, betrayed confidences, political corruption, and miserable marriages. The first serious work of psychological naturalism, this artful indictment of small-town hypocrisy influenced Theodore Dreiser, William Faulkner, and other luminaries.

In 1915, Edgar Lee Masters published a book of dramatic monologues written in free verse about a fictional town called Spoon River, based on the Midwestern towns where he grew up. The shocking scandals and secret tragedies of Spoon River were immediately recognized by readers as authentic. Masters raises the dead "sleeping on the hill" in their village cemetery to tell the truth about their lives, and their testimony topples the American myth of the moral superiority of small-town life. Spoon River, as undeniably corrupt and cruel as the big city, is home to murderers, drunkards, crooked bankers, lechers, bitter wives, abusive husbands, failed dreamers, and a few good souls. The freshness of this masterpiece undiminished, Spoon River Anthology remains a landmark of American literature. With an Introduction by John Hollander and an Afterword by Ronald Primeau

Every character in "Spoon River Anthology" is dead. And the dead speak. In Edgar Lee Masters' "Spoon River Anthology" the speakers lie together in a hillside graveyard in a small, rural community in central Illinois. As they moulder in their earthen tombs, they spill forth their secrets to the living. From its first appearance (in serial form) in the pages of William Marion Reedy's "Mirror" in 1914, the American literary world had not seen anything quite like "Spoon River Anthology", and the world has yet to see its true successor, despite its influence and imitators. The Spoon River dead speak for all of us, and their secrets are the hidden things that prick at the hearts of each of us.
