But what does that really mean? Is it an indefinable hybrid? An anomaly in the history of poetry? Are the very words \"prose poem\" an oxymoron? This groundbreaking anthology edited by celebrated poet David Lehman, editor of \u003ci\u003eThe Best American Poetry\u003c\/i\u003e series, traces the form in all its dazzling variety from Poe and Emerson to Auden and Ashbery and on, right up to the present. In his brilliant and lucid introduction, Lehman defines the prose poem, summarizes its French heritage, and outlines its history in the United States. Included here are important works from masters of American literature, as well as poems by contemporary mainstays and emerging talents who demonstrate why the form has become an irresistible option for the practicing poet today. \u003ci\u003eGreat American Prose Poems\u003c\/i\u003e is a marvelous collection, a must-have for anyone interested in the current state of the art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDavid Lehman, the series editor of \u003ci\u003eThe Best American Poetry\u003c\/i\u003e, edited \u003ci\u003eThe Oxford Book of American Poetry\u003c\/i\u003e.
