Liz Rosenberg/Happy Eyes, Prose Poems

Abstract: A 3 page review of Liz Rosenberg's Happy Eyes, which is a collection of extraordinary prose poems. In her introductory note to this text Rosenberg explains that she considers this form of expression to present a wider view than conventional poetry, which is "vertical" as opposed to the "horizontal window" presented by a prose poem. As the reader delves into the Rosenberg's world, this meaning becomes clearer. Using the tools of poetry, metaphor, lyrically descriptive phrases and the natural rhythm of words, Rosenberg offers prose vignettes that perfectly capture a moment in time. No additional sources cited.
