The Mongrel : Australian Prose Poetry,
single work
essay
'A prose poem is what it says on the can: a piece of prose that is a poem; poetry, but written in prose. It's a contradiction, an oxymoron, a paradox. The prose poem can be erotic, satirical, funny, elegiac, surreal, angry, descriptive, mystifying, fragmented, fast, slow, realist, fabulist - there is no genre, style or subject that is the especial province of a prose poem. Why, then, does a poet decide on typing without hitting return? Why dose a poet forgo the possibilities of enjambment and caesura? Why write a prose poem?' (Author's introduction: 7)
