The musicality of traditionally metered poetry and the gorgeous imagery of free verse drew me into reading, writing, and studying those forms, but prose poems seemed to look and act about as much like poetry as a business letter! While people drooling over the works of, say, Bertrand, Baudelaire, Mallarme, and Rimbaud might need a Kleenex, I felt more inclined to ask for one of those little bags in the back seat pocket of an airplane.In a belated attempt to be open-minded or maybe relieve boredom on a rainy day, I read the anthology of Great American Prose Poems edited by David Lehman and fell in love with prose poetry. These poems were accessible. These poems allowed me to do things in poetry I had not yet tried. And, most amazingly, these poems reached out to general readers and non-poets, making poetry accessible again to regular people.Wanting to find out more about the genre, I checked the titles by Oberlin College (a great proponent of poets, poetry, and the literary arts) and saw that Amazon listed this book among other interesting titles. When I saw the 1995 copyright date, however, I almost emptied my cart, but I'm very glad I did not.This book provides exactly what I wanted - a sweeping view of prose poetry beginning with those "masters" I had previously avoided (yeah, Bertrand, Baudelaire, Mallarme, Rimbaud, etc.) and whose work (at last in the context of its intended form) I now "got." In addition, this anthology provides us with a well-selected overview of the works written today by prose poets from around the world.Some of my favorite American poets such as Robert Bly, John Ashbery, W.S. Merwin, Charles Wright, and Charles Simic have been included, of course, and so have poems by Vallejo, Eugenio Montale, Jorge Louis Borges, Wislawa Szymborska, and Tomas Transtromer, thereby lifting the book to its title, Models of the Universe. Besides providing us with exemplary models of prose poems written across diverse times, cultures, and geographies, this highly recommended anthology also gives us a uni- (as in one) -verse too - a poetry that warmly greets and surprises, one paragraph, one verse at a time. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ This should be part 1 of a series of prose ... *by C***R on Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2017* This should be part 1 of a series of prose poetry books and the final part should be modern prose poetry - I was hoping this would cover a more recent time period as well ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great anthology *by E***S on Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2017* This is a great anthology of prose poetry. The choices are unusual and thought provoking. Good choice for a student of poetry. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/4027065-models-of-the-universe-an-anthology-of-the-prose-poem](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/4027065-models-of-the-universe-an-anthology-of-the-prose-poem) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
