ISBN: 1893996174 ISBN-13: 9781893996175 Publisher: White Pine Press (NY) OUR PRICE: $15.30 Product Type: Paperback Published: February 2002 Annotation: Baudelaire laid the foundations for prose poetry as a genre in the 19th century, but it wasn't until the avant garde movement in the first half of the 20th century that the prose poem began a widespread emergence on the international scene. The three poets in this volume were major factors in this emergence. Max Jacob (18761944), a writer of surrealist cubist fables; Francis Ponge (18991988), a master of the language of things; and Jean Follain (19031971), who merged the everyday with the historical to create a world rich in anniversaries, lead us to the strong and growing interest in the genre that we find so prevalent at the beginning of the 21st century. |
