I have enjoyed this book very much. It is great for those who write and want to explore a unique way of expressing their creative thoughts. Prose poetry is not definite, it is ever- changing and this book demonstrates that wonderfully. If you write, you gotta have this book!!!

Party train is a delightful anthology of prose poetry, superbly put together. I find Vern Rutsala's object poems especially fascinating and the poem which gives name to the anthology even better! Jack Anderson's poem the Party train is a delicious and delirious account of a party that happens always on a subway train, you never know when its coming but, alas, it will come to you someday!
The Party train, an anthology of prose poetry, has two parts, one is a collection of prose poems by well known poets such as William Carlos Williams, Gertrude Stein and Walt Whitman, among others, who have incurred into this form of poetry. The other is a collection of prose poems by lesser known but never the less great poets writing in a form that has acquired many followers. The party train is full of surprises, blast off!
