Review: Along The Illinois

Along The IllinoisAlong The Illinois by Edgar Lee Masters
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I enjoyed reading through Master's last book of poetry. The poems reminded me of Spoon River Anthology, as well they should. My favorite was "Cricket in the Kitchen". I also enjoyed the way Masters evoked the Illinois prairie that he wrote about. For many years, I drove through the Spoon River valley on trips, and was glad to see references to some of the towns, and a lot of the flora and fauna.
