In this engaging, accessible memoir, Charles Hartman shows how computer programming has helped him probe poetry's aesthetic possibilities. He discusses the nature of poetry itself and his experiences with primitive computer-generated poetry programs and — illustrated with sample computer-produced verses — traces the development of more advanced hardware and software. The central question about this cyber-partnership, Hartman says, "isn't exactly whether a poet or a computer writes the poem, but what kinds of collaboration might be interesting." He examines the effects of randomness, arbitrariness, and contingency on poetic composition, concluding that "the tidy dance among poet and text and reader creates a game of hesitation. In this game, a properly programmed computer has a chance to slip in some interesting moves."

Laugh on paper, each instant to grasp; to create liberty for what God promised would be. Hands down, I love this poem. Honest, inspiring, deep, Jondrea Nicole certainly has a way with words. Katrina Gilder Jondrea Nicole captivates the mind, body, spirit, and soul in pieces like Miss Mosaic and The Reason Why. Jondrea is definitely on the rise with a soulful compilation of genuine emotion that radiates through her grown and sexy poetry. L. T. Larkin, author Jondrea participates in the Alexandria Museum of Arts Spoken Word Poetry Series: Rhythm and Rhymes. I have had the opportunity to review some of the works presented in this book, and this poet explores painful experiences and struggles, just as many artists using this form. These works work through the struggle to find a positive and hopeful slant. When I read and listen to these works, I feel good about the future even as I struggle with the past and in the present. This a message we should all work to bring to our communities as we seek to understand each other and create a shared future of equality for all.

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.
