The prose poem, Jonathan Monroe asserts, is the genre that does not want to be itself. In his view, the dominant literary historical role of the prose poem has been to test the limits of generic constraints. Monroe here undertakes a comparative and historical investigation of the problematic relationship between prose and poetry and of the development of the prose poem over the past two centuries.
