About this book

In Occidental poetry, the lyric poem has long been considered the paradigm of condensed verse – the pinnacle of poetic genres. This is increasingly being challenged by advanced prose, where myriad self-references have given rise to a concept of aesthetic density that pushes back against form. This volume investigates whether verse or prose is denser, more intense, more poetic, more advanced.
