  Poems in Prose

  Oscar Wilde

  Poems in Prose is a striking and evocative collection that reveals Oscar Wilde at his most lyrical, introspective, and symbolist. First published in 1894, these short prose pieces blur the boundary between poetry and narrative, offering richly textured meditations on beauty, love, sorrow, faith, and the human condition. Written in Wilde's unmistakable voice, the work stands as a unique and deeply personal expression of his artistic vision.
  
  Composed of brief, self-contained pieces, Poems in Prose draws inspiration from biblical parables, myth, and philosophical reflection. Each prose poem is crafted with musical language and vivid imagery, conveying emotion and meaning through symbolism rather than traditional plot. Themes of sacrifice, suffering, spiritual longing, and redemption recur throughout, reflecting Wilde's fascination with the cost of beauty and the complexities of moral experience.
  
  Unlike Wilde's more satirical or humorous works, this collection is solemn, contemplative, and intensely expressive. The prose is elegant and restrained, yet emotionally powerful, inviting readers to pause, reflect, and engage with its layered meanings. These pieces reward slow reading, offering insights that deepen with each return.
  
  Poems in Prose occupies a special place in Wilde's body of work, bridging his fairy tales and later, more introspective writings. It showcases his mastery of form and his willingness to experiment beyond conventional literary boundaries, anticipating modernist approaches to prose poetry.
  
  Ideal for readers of classic literature, poetry, and philosophical writing, Poems in Prose is a timeless exploration of inner life and artistic beauty. It is a book to be savored—one that reveals the quiet intensity and enduring depth of Oscar Wilde's genius.

  Maya Bernstein's debut volume presents poems rigorously composed and delicately honed. It reveals the sensitive spirit and sharp mind of a mature speaker exploring the gaping space between the infinitude of the divine and the finite nature of human existence. 
  Authentic and honest, spanning the secular and the sacred, these poems challenge and speak truth to our fears and joys, navigating the complex intimacy and distance we experience as humans striving to connect to ourselves, one another, and to the forces that act upon us in the world.

  'I celebrate myself, and sing myself,
  And what I assume you shall assume,
  For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.'
  
  Originally self-published in 1855, Leaves of Grass is Walt Whitman's bold, life-affirming poetic epic that still permeates American popular culture to this day.
  
  A groundbreaking collection of poetry that underwent several additions and alterations throughout Whitman's lifetime, Leaves of Grass is an unapologetic celebration of nature, the body and the interconnectedness of life itself. Including the iconic poems 'Song of Myself', 'I Sing the Body Electric' and 'Song of the Open World', Whitman's free verse exalts the beauty of the self and the natural world, creating a sweeping, spiritual and uniquely American voice that embraces the human experience for all it's worth.
  Walt Whitman (1819 – 1892) was an American poet, journalist and novelist. He is regarded as one of the most influential writers in American literature, famed for his free verse, and the inclusion of both transcendentalism and realism in his works. Although his poetry was controversial at the time of writing, today he remains widely admired and studied.
