Publisher's Synopsis
This wide-ranging gathering of 34 brief essays and 66 prose poems by distinguished practitioners, 'The Rose Metal Press Field Guide To Prose Poetry', is as personal and provocative, accessible and idiosyncratic as the genre itself. The essayists discuss their craft, influences, and experiences, all while pondering larger questions: What is prose poetry? Why write prose poems? With its pioneering introduction, this collection provides a history of the development of the prose poem up to its current widespread appeal.
