Models of the Universe : An Anthology of the Prose Poem

Models of the Universe : An Anthology of the Prose Poem by Friebert, Stuart. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780932440693.

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.
