Poet's Prose is the first scholarly work devoted exclusively to
American prose poetry and has been recognised as a pioneering study
in contemporary American poetry. Many recent American poets have
been writing prose; Fredman has set out to determine why and what
it means. Three central works of American poets' prose are
discussed in detail: William Carlos Williams' Kora in Hell, Robert
Creeley's Presences, and John Ashbery's Three Poems. In these
chapters, Fredman both demonstrates how to read these difficult
works and examines their philosophical seriousness. In a final
chapter and a new epilogue, he discusses the newest trends in
contemporary poetry, the 'talk poems' of David Antin and the prose
of the Language poets, in which poet's prose forms an important
aspect of the 'theoretical poetry' now being written.
