Drag that first person out of the social death of history, then we’re kin. What is rain? I don’t think prose has yet exhausted the potential to disturb people’s sense of categories, if it presents itself as poetry. Examples of poetic prose can be found throughout the centuries, but—like various other histories of the prose poem—I decided to start with the fairly clear, self-conscious invention of the form by Baudelaire, who declares his intention to write “the miracle of a poetic prose.” He does acknowledge that he has a model, though, that he’s taking his inspiration from elsewhere: a book called Gaspar de la Nuit (1842) by Aloysius Bertrand. But I do think that the available accounts of prose poetry in English have tended to be very American-centric. Its technical subtlety and overall arrangement has been neglected, because it has been classified as a kind of documentary work. In Talk to Me Always: Poetry, Prose, and Photography, the royal wedding photographer combines dreamy visuals and verses he’s written throughout the years. How far back do you go? Selected Poetry and Prose of Stéphane Mallarmé presents what can be considered the essential work of the renowned “father of the Symbolists.” Mallarmé’s major elegies, sonnets, and other verse, including excerpts from the dialogue “Hériodiade,” are all assembled here with the French and English texts en face. A good rule of thumb is that series have a conventional name and are intentional creations, on the part of the author or publisher. Anyone who can come out with something like that on the spot is, as far as I’m concerned, a bona fide genius. In your introduction to the Penguin Book of Prose Poetry, you call the prose poem “a form that has sometimes been regarded with suspicion but is now suddenly everywhere.” Tell us about the history of the prose poem. Later, in the 1930s, she goes to the United States on a lecture tour and there’s a little audio clip of a journalist saying to her, “Miss Stein, what do you say to people who don’t understand what you write?” and she says, “I say, if you enjoy it, you understand it.” She emphasizes this in her Steinian way: “if you enjoy it, you understand it.” And then she says, “If you don’t enjoy it, why do you bother about it?” Which I think is a great response. I also admire him because when confronted with this question—where does the prose poem begin, and how do you define it?—he actually opens it up more and says, ‘No, what I’m interested in is this perhaps even more elusive mode which is the short prose piece.’ So, as well as prose poems, he has short-short stories, brief essays, aphorisms, and other forms.

So, yes, I think there is still work to do in re-writing the history of modern poetry to bring those voices back in. It teases and it pleases. Penguin Classics' "Poems and Prose" of Gerard Manley Hopkins is an excellent collection of the writer's work. But what would have happened to a black woman who had tried to do that in 1959? Yes. From childhood, he was fascinated by reading the dictionary. For a poet to inhabit this medium, as Ponge does, and bring it to bear on the most apparently modest of objects—to make tentative propositions in prose—is to in some way try to recover the life of prose, because so much prose is effectively dead or deadening. English literature anthologies published by the L. W. Singer Company. In an age of relentlessly shifting experimentation, what’s the point of genre labels? Your second choice is a classic text in experimental modernism, Tender Buttons by Gertrude Stein (1914). Give him all you’ve got. And that probably ties into what’s signified by the title Tender Buttons. The "Common Knowledge" section now includes a "Series" field. But the amazing thing about them is that they are so lucid. Our spring books are here! ISBN 10: 0692280642 ISBN 13: 9780692280645 It’s the most recent book of your selections, and when it came out, seemed to constitute a real turning point in American poetry especially but perhaps internationally, even. “I don’t think prose has yet exhausted the potential to disturb people’s sense of categories, if it presents itself as poetry”. And then there’s something like Auden’s “Caliban to the Audience”, which is his extraordinary reimagining of Shakespeare’s character in the prose of late Henry James—and so, necessarily, takes a long time to say anything. To look ahead to my last choice, Claudia Rankine’s Citizen, I think the response to that was revealing, because it was apparent that, even when they admired the book, people were still not entirely comfortable being presented with prose that was called poetry. by Claudia Rankine Shelley pulls no punches in prose because he hasn't pulled any in poetry. She says this elsewhere about ‘classic’ art—that there’s a period when most classic works are not recognized as classics, and to most people they’re actually more irritating than beautiful. It irritates the rational part of the mind which expects to be able to explain things. Like a lot of definitions, that refers you to the definition of something else. People reject them because they’re new, and they don’t know what to do with them. The Princeton Encyclopedia of Poetry and Poetics defines the prose poem as a “composition able to have any or all features of the lyric, except that it is put on the page—though not conceived of—as prose.”. Like Tender Buttons, it’s a book that needs to be heard and felt to have its full effect. As a publisher we focus on the preservation of historical literature. Again, I admire its faithfulness to the facts—it acknowledges that the prose poem is a modern form with a long tail. I think that might be significant because in The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas (1933)—Stein’s autobiography told from the point of view of her partner—she directly connects what she was trying to do in Tender Buttons with the Cubist painters she knew at the time and what they were doing: breaking up the visual plane of these three-dimensional objects, things on café tables, and presenting them in strange, overlapping, abstracted ways. I like that—it’s a sort of modernist mind experiment. . Some of Baudelaire’s prose poems, for example, first appeared as feuilletons, literary snippets in a daily newspaper. . But, in a way, they were more interesting when they were irritating. Jeremy Noel-Tod is a lecturer in the School of Literature, Drama and Creative Writing at the University of East Anglia.

Tender Buttons in particular was the book that made her notorious. These books were published in several versions, from the 1920s onward. He calls the Illuminations “a crystalline jumble”, which gets perfectly that sense of chaos and order you feel when reading them (his translation, too, like his own poetry, pitches itself perfectly between ‘straight’ and ‘strange’ English: the phrase “Very robust rascals” at the start of “Sideshow”, for example). When you’re editing an anthology of prose poems, the two questions people ask are: How do you define a prose poem? Actually, on Twitter, there’s even a bot which mashes up Tender Buttons with phrases from a 24-hour shopping channel. For now, avoid forcing the issue with mere "lists" of works possessing an arbitrary shared characteristic, such as relating to a particular place. Then what is comes apart the closer you are to it . Prose and poetry are the two common forms of literature; wherein prose is written work, which contains sentences and paragraphs, and does not have any metrical structure. But it irritates them because they’re sort of attracted to it, and don’t know why. A reflection on … by Gertrude Stein It’s exactly what Baudelaire said in the prefatory note to Paris Spleen: his desire to write a poetic prose arose from the experience of living in large cities. And then, of course, Anglophone poetry is not just written in the UK and the US, but also in Australia, New Zealand, India, the Caribbean, Africa. Like Gaspar de la Nuit and Paris Spleen, it’s posthumous: it brings together writings that Rimbaud effectively abandoned. But then they become accepted as a classic, and everybody forgets what it’s like when they were irritating. It includes all of his poetry and what he considered his complete prose. The Waters of Marah brings together the best of David Miller's non-poetic output. It’s also a book which needs to be read out loud. I think that’s very nicely put—and it’s borne out by the influence Ponge had on so many prose poets after him, which is something I tried to show in the anthology. She says that when she wrote Tender Buttons, what she was doing was sitting down, taking an object (like a tumbler, or something), looking at it, trying to get a picture of it in her mind, and then creating a “word relationship” in response to its name. by Francis Ponge So, with the caveat that it’s existed in some form or another as long as literature has—like Ovid’s self-styled “loose song” or “loose poem” speeches or Lucian’s history, which he called “prosaic poetry”—the prose poem begins in late nineteenth-century France? You could give a one sentence definition of it, but instead, in “Rain” Ponge gives you amazing, dazzling paragraphs which really attempt to capture that sense of what it is to look at rain, what it’s doing, out of a window. I was really interested in the elasticity and flexibility Ziegler talks about with regard to genre. The Emerald Book: Prose and Poetry by Fannie L.

As a young woman, Oliver studied at Ohio State University and Vassar College, but took no degree. So the prose poem is the form of the urban wanderer, in a way. But over the course of the book, it’s full of devices, in that artful sense. His method is ostensibly scientific: he takes prose as a supposedly objective medium. But the Loeb Classical Library is a series of editions, not of works. It’s as though he takes a step back from Gertrude Stein, and just takes the object in front of him as it is, like the oyster or the blackberry. It’s a book that asks you to enjoy the fact that prose doesn’t have to really make any kind of sense that you were expecting, while at the same time reminding you of all kinds of other prose that you read, every day. And this is all part of the radical rethinking of traditional prosody in late nineteenth-century France which also sees the invention of free verse—the two develop together, I would say, although free verse comes to dominate when these experiments in France are translated into the Anglophone modernist tradition of the twentieth century. In Ponge’s poetry, words are always coming alive and running away from him, like Mickey Mouse’s brooms and buckets in “The Sorceror’s Apprentice.”, Read I suppose we stay in Paris, which is where Stein was living at the time of the publication of Tender Buttons (though she began to write them while she was on holiday in Spain.) The book is the compelling story of Vera Jo’s personal growth through athletics and emergence as a motivational speaker. Chrysanthemum, Chrysanthemum by Nadine Sabra Meyer “‘Though I am staggered, I am not undone,’ Nadine Sabra Meyer writes in her lucid, precise and well-crafted second book, a testament of moving into another stage of life. There are passages of verse, too. Some (like the very first, “Rain”) read to me as if the unit of prose (like a paragraph) acts as an enlargement or saturation of a verse line, swelling the space and time the poet takes with each image.

There are various points all along the way where you find people have been written out of literary history.

He writes in a very provisional manner, as though he’s just drafting a poem—as if these prose poems are just notes towards verse poems that he’s going to write and then doesn’t. He doesn’t do what Stein does, which is to go around it; he tries to focus on it. That inexplicability is part of its greatness. See All Publishers.
