Models of the Universe : An Anthology of the Prose Poem

About this book

Here at last is a comprehensive anthology of one of the worlds most fascinating literary hybrids. This strange sub-genre encompasses the history of modern poetry from its beginnings in romanticism (Bertrand Turgenev Baudelaire) its adolescence in Symbolism (Mallarme Rimbaud Trakl) its maturity in high modernism (Stein Williams Kafka Montale Follain Char Vallejo H.D. and others) and its middle age in post-modernism (Cortazar Bishop Ashbery Simic Edson Bly...) up to the present.
