The Modern Japanese Prose Poem: An Anthology of Six Poets

by Dennis Keene

Book Overview

Though the prose poem came into existence as a principally French literary genre in the nineteenth century, it occupies a place of considerable importance in twentieth-century Japanese poetry. This selection of poems is the first anthology of this genre and, in effect, the first appearance of this kind of poetry in English.

Originally published in 1980.
