FIDDLER JONES by Edgar Lee Masters, from Spoon River Anthology The earth keeps some vibration going There in your heart, and that is you. And if the people find you can fiddle, Why, fiddle you must, for all your life. What do you see, a harvest of clover? Or a meadow to walk through to the river? The wind's in the corn; you rub your hands For beeves hereafter ready for market; Or else you hear the rustle of skirts Like the girls when dancing at Little Grove. To Cooney Potter a pillar of dust Or whirling leaves meant ruinous drouth; They looked to me like Read-Head Sammy Stepping it off, to "Toor-a-loor." How could I till my forty acres Not to speak of getting more, With a medley of horns, bassoons and piccolos Stirred in my brain by crows and robins And the creak of a wind-mill only these? And I never started to plow in my life That someone did not stop in the road And take me away to a dance or picnic. I ended up with forty acres; I ended up with a broken fiddle And a broken laugh, and a thousand memories, And not a single regret.

Location: Illinois Famous Illinoisans Edgar Lee Masters Author of "Spoon River Author of "Spoon River Anthology" Edgar Lee Masters was born in 1868 in Garnett but grew up in western Illinois. His boyhood adventures in the Concord area would eventually shape his career in literature. Early on, in 1893, Masters entered the field of Law and, 10 years later, came under the employ of Clarence Darrow "specializing" in defending the poor. It was during this time that he dabbled in writing plays and books of poemsall largely undistinguished. In 1914, Masters started compiling poems of his childhood which would become the Spoon River Anthology which has been desscribed as a "series of poignant and often sardonic graveside monologues that capture small-town America, Midwestern values, and the angst of modern life." It stands as one of the most popular works in American literature. Although he published numerous poems, essays and biographies over the next 30 years, none would reach the prominence of his former book. He was awarded the Poetry Society of America Award in 1941.

Show and Features Deal of the Week-Travel Update Culture Watch Question of the Week ... Host's View Traveling into the past can be a haunting experience. We never know what we'll find lurking behind the ruins and old monuments, or even the pages of an old book. For Jeff Biggers, traveling through the Spoon River Valley in rural Illinois, the ghosts of the past came alive, just as they did in the celebrated Spoon River Anthology. Spoon River Valley: Stirring the Ghosts of Edgar Lee Masters by Jeff Biggers Listen with RealAudio Need audio help? I entered Fulton County on a narrow road, forging my way through rows of withered corn stalks and beans. Family farms dotted the roadsides; barns with ornate steeples rose like monuments to another time. But I wasn't searching for the old days. I wanted to find the Spoon River of today. There on the horizon, I saw the vast stands of hickories, oaks, and the beloved river maple trees, afire in their carmine foliage, winding along the Spoon River on this cold autumn morning. But that wasn't all in view. I came to an abrupt stop behind a backed-up traffic jam the length of an L.A. freeway. Richard Bone: "When I first came to Spoon River, I did not know whether what they told me was true or false. They would bring me the epitaph and stand around the shop while I worked."
