Prose Poetry - What is It?
What is prose poetry? How is it defined?
I've read some ... I don't know what makes it prose poetry.
Is it just something that's written in prosaic prose?
The cynical answer would be that it's prose without a story.... That 'Art that Shook the World' program says Ulysses (James Joyce) is prose poetry....

Well, I've been asking everybody - the way I see it, it's just poetry that's formed like a paragraph ... I dunno .... nobody seems to have a real answer
It's been suggested to me that it's just a label that somebody got going and started using the term - everybody bit on it, because it's used a lot
prose poetry is poetry, without all the markers that make it so. so it's basically prose without a story and is often faintly lyric
