Description

Jeremy Noel-Tod has edited The Penguin Book of Prose Poetry. He celebrates the essence of the prose poem, a 200 year old form that eludes definition and continually wrong foots the reader. Jeremy explains that his best definition is simply ‘a poem without line breaks’. We hear examples from masters of the form such as Ron Padgett and Amy Lowell.
