Spoon River Anthologies

We started our work on the Spoon River Anthologies today in Meisner. The book is full of poems spoken by dead people. Each poem is about one emotional moment, such as irresistible urge, abject terror, or absolute regret. The objective is to express whatever moment our poem calls for while avoiding acting the lines. As John so thoughtfully put it, "Acting and lines are different."

We've got one more Meisner class this evening, so hopefully I'll have more information on which one I will be doing tonight.
