Spoon River Revisited

This book of prose poems is a captivating visit to the legendary town of Spoon River, viewed through the epitaphs of its residents. SPOON RIVER REVISITED is an insightful sequel to Edgar Lee Master's 1916 classic, Spoon River Anthology. The people who share their modern stories still struggle with challenges of growing up, making their way through life, and passing on. Death has an undeserved, bad reputation! After dying, they are often surprised they are still keenly aware of the lives they lived, which were often cut off prematurely by illnesses, accidents or medical mishaps. In these moving stories, Daniel Benor, MD shows you the dangers of making modern medicine your first choice for treatment. Dan invites you in other cases to consider the remarkable transformations that new and ancient methods of healing offer for treatment of illnesses and for easing the transition through death and into the afterlife. The people of Spoon River will show you that health is far more than the state of function of your body, and that death is the beginning of new journeys rather than a dead end.
