First sentence: It is impossible to discuss the American prose poem without focusing on a French tradition beginning with Charles Baudelaire (with a nod to Aloysisius Bertrand).
Description: "Baudelaire laid the foundations for prose poetry 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."--BOOK JACKET.
