The Penguin Book Of The Prose Poem by Jeremy Noel-Tod

An international anthology that traces the development and variety of the prose poem from the nineteenth century to the present, gathering lyrical, surreal, narrative and experimental pieces in translation alongside contextual notes and a critical introduction; the selection highlights the form’s hybridity—its ability to condense poetic intensity into paragraph-sized units—and shows how writers across languages and eras have used the prose poem to blur boundaries between fiction, lyric, and essay, moving from intimate moods to political and visionary registers.
