May Swenson

    Anna Swenson se erige como una de las poetas más destacadas de la América de mediados del siglo XX. Su obra es célebre por su imaginería precisa y cautivadora, ofreciendo observaciones personales e imaginativas. Swenson poseía una habilidad única para extraer las implicaciones metafísicas del mundo material, al tiempo que infundía a su poesía una perspectiva ligera, incluso gozosa, sobre la vida. Su voz distintiva capta tanto perspicacias profundas como una vibrante apreciación de la existencia.

      The innovative free verse collection of small-town life that made Edgar Lee Masters a legend 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.
