WEDNESDAYS WITH DENISE: June 7, 2023

Peter Johnson’s While the Undertaker Sleeps: Collected and New Prose Poems was just published by MadHat Press. Johnson has long been a champion of the prose poem, twisting and working it into hilarious truths. Russell Edson, in fact, coined his certain kind of prose poem as “The Peter Johnson Prose Poem.” Johnson’s advocacy of the form—his magazine and two anthologies—and his brilliance as a practitioner, make this collection a “must have” for any reader interested in prose poetry.

Cassandra Atherton has published a wonderful essay in Plume about the importance of his career.

Congratulations, Peter!

I left it
on when I
left the house
for the pleasure
of coming back
ten hours later
to the greatness
of Teddy Wilson
"After You've Gone"
on the piano
in the corner
of the bedroom
as I enter
in the dark


from New and Selected Poems by David Lehman
