The American poet Edgar Lee Masters (1868-1950) is famous for a single book: the Spoon River Anthology, which collects epitaphs of an imaginative American town.

Valter Casini, thanks to E.L.Master, describes adultery, abortion, betrayal and bankruptcy. This way he aims to criticize capitalism and globalization, corrupt law, police violence and hypocrisy in the family.

As a result, it turnes out that, as Lady Liberty says, birth and death are the only moments of  real freedom in our lives.
