Some questions about prose poetry

[blackstone]

I don't know much about prose poetry. Can someone kindly recommend some prose poets to me? Mmmmmaybe post some of your own?

I just looked at the wikipedia entry for prose poetry. I wasn't aware that Charles Simic played with the form; is that true or is that a piece of wikipedia truthiness?

Thanks, my talented lj brothers and sisters.

Check out some Michael Ondaatje, he crosses the borders of prose and poetry all the time. I don't know if it's strictly prose poetry, but I'd argue it qualifies. Especially if you can find Billy the Kid or Coming Through Slaughter.

I shall. Just let me dig some up.

P.S. Is that el Bono in your icon? *swoon*

Yes, that is Sir Hewson himself. He's dreamy.

Russell Edson is probably one of the best out there.
