No longer to be understood as just another genre, the prose poem emerges here as a form of writing that unsettles our very notions of what poetry is or should be. From Novalis and Baudelaire, to such multinational writers as the Polish-Danish Grzegorz Wróblewski, from Rimbaud’s Illuminations to the Japanese sanbunshi and the Surrealist prose poems of post-Saddam Iraq, these essayists give us a heady new sense of what "postgeneric writing," as Steven Fredman calls it, can look like. There is something for everybody in this groundbreaking and truly global anthology.

Marjorie Perloff, Stanford University

The first comprehensive guide to the prose poem, this book covers the history of the genre from Aloyisius Bertrand’s Gaspard de la nuit and Baudelaire’s Paris Spleen to its most important modern and contemporary practitioners. It gives special attention to the genre’s hybridity as well as to its propensity to engage in a dialogue with other genres, discourses and artistic forms. Written by prominent scholars of modern and contemporary poetry and poetics, The Edinburgh Companion to the Prose Poem offers analytical and historically informed narratives of the genre’s transformations and variations across the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and into the next.
