Antimatter On the other side of a mirror there's an inverse world, where the insane go sane; where bones climb out of the earth and recede to the first slime of love. And in the evening the sun is just rising. Lovers cry because they are a day younger, and soon childhood robs them of their pleasure. In such a world there is much sadness which, of course, is joy. The Autopsy In a back room a man is performing an autopsy on an old raincoat. His wife appears in the doorway with a candle and asks, how does it go? Not now, not now, I'm just getting to the lining, he murmurs with impatience. I just wanted to know if you found any blood clots? Blood clots?! For my necklace...

25. Poetry Previews: What's A Prose Poem? Among contemporary practitioners of the prose poem are russell edson,Robert Bly, Charles Simic, and Rosmarie Waldrop. Poets of Interest http://www.poetrypreviews.com/poets/prosepoem.html

CheapStakes Poem-a-Day Trivia Strange News ... Ghost Stories What's a Prose Poem? The prose poem is a type of poetry characterized by its lack of line breaks. Although the prose poem resembles a short piece of prose, its allegiance to poetry can be seen in the use of rhythms, figures of speech, rhyme, internal rhyme, assonance (repetition of similar vowel sounds), consonance (repetition of similar consonant sounds), and images. Early poetry (such as the Iliad and the Odyssey, both written by Homer approximately 2,800 years ago) lacked conventional line breaks for the simple fact that these works were not written down for hundreds of years, instead being passed along (and presumably embellished) in the oral tradition. However, once poetry began to be written down, poets began to consider line breaks as another important element to the art. With the exception of slight pauses and inherent rhyme schemes, it is very hard for a listener of poetry to tell where a line actually breaks. The length of prose poems vary, but usually range from half of a page to three or four pages (those much longer are often considered experimental prose or poetic prose). Aloysius Bertrand, who first published Gaspard de la nuit in 1842, is considered by many scholars as the father of the prose poem as a deliberate form. Despite the recognition given to Bertrand, as well as Maurice de Guerin, who wrote around 1835, the first deliberate prose poems appeared in France during the 18th Century as writers turned to prose in reaction to the strict rules of versification by the Academy.

Poems by Russell Edson The Wounded Breakfast A huge shoe mounts up from the horizon, squealing and grinding forward on small wheels, even as a man sitting to breakfast on his veranda is suddenly engulfed in a great shadow almost the size of the night. He looks up and sees a huge shoe ponderously mounting out of the earth. Up in the unlaced ankle-part an old woman stands at a helm behind the great tongue curled forward; the thick laces dragging like ships' rope on the ground as the huge thing squeals and grinds forward; children everywhere, they look from the shoelace holes, they crowd about the old woman, even as she pilots this huge shoe over the earth. . . Soon the huge shoe is descending the opposite horizon, a monstrous snail squealing and grinding into the earth. . . The man turns to his breakfast again, but sees it's been wounded, the yolk of one of his eggs is bleeding. . . The Automobile A man had just married an automobile. But I mean to say, said his father, that the automobile is not a person because it is something different. For instance, compare it to your mother. Do you see how it is different from your mother? Somehow it seems wider, doesn't it? And besides, your mother wears her hair differently.

31. Russell Edson's Prose Poems The Terrible Angel. by russell edson In a nursery a mother can'tget her baby out of its cradle. Erasing Amyloo. by russell edson http://www.cs.iupui.edu/~jhorne/edson.html

The Terrible Angel by Russell Edson In a nursery a mother can't get her baby out of its cradle. The baby, it has turned to wood, it has become part of its own cradle. The mother, she cries, tilting, one foot raised, as if in flight for the front door, just hearing her husband's car in the driveway; but can't, the carpet holds her... Her husband, he hears her, he wants to rush to her, but can't, the door of the car won't open... The wife, she no longer calls, she has been taken into the carpet, and is part of it; a piece of carpet in the shape of a woman tilted, one foot raised as if to flight. The husband, he no longer struggles towards his wife. As if he sleeps he has been drawn into the seat of his car; a man sculptured in upholstery. In the nursery the wooden baby stares with wooden eyes into the last red of the setting sun, even as the darkness that forms in the east begins to join the shadows of the house; the darkness that rises out of the cellar, seeping out from under furniture, oozing from the cracks in the nursery floor...The shadow of something that was always there...

listen The Alfresco Moment A butler asks, will Madam be having her morning coffee alfresco? If you would be so good as to lift me out of my bed to the veranda I would be more than willing to imbibe coffee alfresco. Shall I ask the Master to join you for coffee alfresco, Madam? But my nightgown's so sheer he might see my pubic delta alfresco. And being a woman of wealth I have the loins of a goddess. While you, being but a servant, have the loins of a child's teddy bear. Yes, have the Master join the alfresco moment. He might just as well be informed of my pubic delta, it's not a state secret. Besides, because of his wealth he bears the organ of a bull, while you, being but a lowly servant, have the loins of a toy. Very good, Madam Russell Edson WordVirtual.com

listen One Lonely Afternoon Since the fern can't go to the sink for a drink of water, I graciously submit myself to the task, bringing two glasses from the sink. And so we sit, the fern and I, sipping water together. Of course I'm more complex than a fern, full of deep thoughts as I am. But I lay this aside for the easy company of an afternoon friendship. I don't mind sipping water with a fern, even though, had I my druthers, I'd be speeding through the sky for Stockholm, sipping a bloody mary with a wedge of lime. And so we sit one lonely afternoon sipping water together. The fern looking out of its fronds, and I, looking out of mine... Russell Edson WordVirtual.com

40. Noah Hoffenberg's Review Of Edson's The Tormented Mirror russell edson. The Tormented Mirror. Pittsburgh 87 pp, $12.95. Report fromthe Rabbit Hole Notes on russell edson's The Tormented Mirror. When http://www.moriapoetry.com/hoffenburg.html

Russell Edson. The Tormented Mirror . Pittsburgh: University of Pittsburgh Press, 2001. 87 pp, $12.95. Report from the Rabbit Hole: Notes on Russell Edson's The Tormented Mirror When I read Russell Edson's new book, The Tormented Mirror , I could not help but think of bricks and translation. That's because, in the critical/burlesque portions of my brain, are the ever-present voices of Peter Levitt and ee cummings, each remarking respectively that: "all poetry is translation," and "would you hit a woman with a child? ­ No, I'd hit her with a brick." With Russell Edson, a.k.a. Little Mister Prose Poem, a reader receives both aforementioned quotations at full-throttle, while being verbally throttled, in a good way, of course. Edson translates the human psyche, from a language without words into language with very specific expression. One interprets his work and truly feels as if what they're reading is some kind of condensed essence, like a distilled Borges or Gogol. Our intuition tells us that Kafka's native tongue somehow lurks wiggling in the dark corners of his poems: the presence is undeniable. In The Tormented Mirror , Edson throws considerable quantities of brick at human consciousness which is also a brick that Edson's original brick melts into. When one says "brick" often enough, or reads "brick" too many times on paper, it stops being "brick" and becomes much more like hieroglyphics or Prekrit.
