Models of the Universe: An Anthology of the Prose Poem

Rating:
Summary: For lovers of poetry and prose poetry.
Review: The prose poem, as noted in the introduction to this wonderful anthology, has had a long and varied history.Widely regarded as an outsider to poetry, and rejected by many critics, the prose poem reminds us that the nature of poetry itself is the continual act of questioning and pushing the boundaries of definition. With examples from the very first prose poet, Aloysius Bertrand, all the way to the present, this anthology deserves a prominent place on the bookshelf of anyone interested in the past, present, and future of poetry.
