A new look at a classic of the American heartland, which unraveled the myths about people who lived and died in the supposedly idyllic days of rural America. Director Thomas G. Smith has digitally re-mastered his original 976 production, which captured Edgar Lee Masters' lyrical realism with dramatic readings, authentic settings, and period photography. This DVD includes text versions of 11 poems. Click on the text version to go directly to the dramatic reading. .
