It's like I edited it myself! But I didn't, Kristina Marie Darling did -- thank you, Kristina! -- and here's some of what she says in her editor's note about the status of prose poetry in 2010:

As the prose poem enters the twenty-first century, its writers have been borrowing from an even wider range of literary and cultural texts, which include nineteenth and twentieth century verse, popular fiction, magazine writing, scholarly articles, technical writing, and a variety of other source materials. I hope that this anthology will illustrate the ways the prose poem is expanding its horizons as the next generation of writers comes of age.
