In the century-and-a-half since Charles Baudelaire, Emma Lazarus, Oscar Wilde and Ivan Turgenev spread the notion of a new kind of poetry, this 'genre with an oxymoron for a name' has attracted and beguiled many of our most beloved writers. Yet, even now, this peculiarly rich and expansive form can strike many readers as something of a mystery.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHere, Jeremy Noel-Tod reconstructs the history of the prose poem for us by selecting the essential pieces of writing - by turns luminous, brooding, lamentatory and comic - which have defined and developed it at each stage, covering a greater chronological sweep and international range than any previous anthology of this kind. In \u003ci\u003eThe Penguin Book of the Prose Poem\u003c\/i\u003e, Margaret Atwood rubs shoulders with Claudia Rankine; Lu Xun and Rabindranath Tagore take seats in the family tree above Seamus Heaney and Simon Armitage; and Czeslaw Milosz sits just pages from Eileen Myles.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48185112559774,"sku":"UBD-9780141984568","price":26.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780141984568.jpg?v=1787485597","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780141984568","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
