Description: Iglesias examines critical studies on prose poetry in light of how they treat women writers. She contends that the form has been too narrowly defined and the work of many women prose poets has been neglected. In this creative/critical work Iglesias posits that "women's prose poetry" is a form distinct from that widely touted as "definitive" in journals, anthologies and critical texts. Iglesias believes that the shape of prose poems--a simple box--serves as a powerful metaphor for gender roles that constrain and contain women. Unlike most of their male counterparts who produce disembodied, ironic and surrealist prose poems, women write from within this genre-defiant box works that are at once lyrical and embattled, sensual and menacing.
