Prose poems, poetic prose, and everything in-between—what’s the difference between prose and poetry? A continuum, or a hard binary? Can one be turned into another by removing or adding line breaks? (This is a rhetorical question. Alternatively, you may take it as a dare). For this issue, we invite prose writers, poets, artists, and creators of all stripes to prise apart genre definitions. We want to see poets revisit old work, or respond to another poet’s work (with their permission), and attempt to translate the spirit of a poem into prose. How, apart from line breaks, can poetry arrange itself? Prose writers, we’d love to see you prise apart the empty spaces between poems that you love, and poems that baffle you, and fill them in with your words (also with the poet’s permission). How can prose pieces make explicit or strange the usual ways they order themselves (e.g., the sentence, the paragraph)? Over the past few years, we’ve seen how even our societies have been forced to change the way they organise themselves. Now that we are nearly a year into a post-lockdown world, what changes have stuck? How have we reverted to status quo? What gaps are there? How should we change? Our open call is also interested in these questions. Prose poems, poetic prose, and everything in-between—what’s the difference between prose and poetry? A continuum, or a hard binary?
