An engaging and authoritative introduction to an increasingly
important and popular literary genre Prose Poetry is the first book
of its kind-an engaging and authoritative introduction to the
history, development, and features of English-language prose
poetry, an increasingly important and popular literary form that is
still too little understood and appreciated. Poets and scholars
Paul Hetherington and Cassandra Atherton introduce prose poetry's
key characteristics, chart its evolution from the nineteenth
century to the present, and discuss many historical and
contemporary prose poems that both demonstrate their great
diversity around the Anglophone world and show why they represent
some of today's most inventive writing. A prose poem looks like
prose but reads like poetry: it lacks the line breaks of other
poetic forms but employs poetic techniques, such as internal rhyme,
repetition, and compression. Prose Poetry explains how this form
opens new spaces for writers to create riveting works that reshape
the resources of prose while redefining the poetic. Discussing
prose poetry' s precursors, including William Wordsworth and Walt
Whitman, and prose poets such as Charles Simic, Russell Edson,
Lydia Davis, and Claudia Rankine, the book pays equal attention to
male and female prose poets, documenting women's essential but
frequently unacknowledged contributions to the genre. Revealing how
prose poetry tests boundaries and challenges conventions to open up
new imaginative vistas, this is an essential book for all readers,
students, teachers, and writers of prose poetry.

Prose poetry is a resurgent literary form in the English-speaking
world and has been rapidly gaining popularity in Australia.
Cassandra Atherton and Paul Hetherington have gathered a broad and
representative selection of the best Australian prose poems written
over the last fifty years. The Anthology of Australian Prose
Poetryincludes numerous distinguished prose poets-Jordie Albiston,
joanne burns, Gary Catalano, Anna Couani, Alex Skovron, Samuel
Wagan Watson, Ania Walwicz and many moremdash;and documents prose
poetry's growing appeal over recent decades, from the poetic
margins to the mainstream. This collection reframes our
understanding not only of this dynamic poetic form, but of
Australian poetry as a whole.
This volume gathers together 17 articles published over the last 30
years, together with one appearing here for the first time. Their
focus is primarily on enamel, the brilliant and colourful art form
for which the Byzantines were famous throughout the medieval world,
but sculpture and glyptics also figure. The author examines not
only works which have retained the form in which they were first
created, but others which have had their original Byzantine
elements re-used, often by artists in the West. While most of the
works featured here have been known to scholars before, one was
unknown prior to its first publication in 2006.
