5.0 out of 5 stars
An odd aviary of American literature,
By Alan DeNiro "alan_deniro" (Oakdale, MN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Best of The Prose Poem: An International Journal (Paperback)
This anthology culled from the excellent journal devoted solely to the prose poem is a treasure. The prose poem is indeed its own bird, an evolutionary strain SIMILAR to poetry, and SIMILAR to prose, but not exactly like either. The prose poem, when done well (as most of those exhibited in this anthology are), is not a formless blob. It has its own rhythms and cadences--oftentimes more 'invisible' that give the pieces structure.Of course, there is great variety to what's presented here. Some are very narrative, and some are elliptical. They're fun to dive into. Highly recommended if you're looking for something off-beat, poetrywise. |
