The Prose Poem was founded in 2023 to provide a dedicated space for the prose poem. We are interested in prose poetry and the liminal boundaries where prose poetry and other shortform writing meets. We run two annual competitions; one is for prose poetry of up to 500 words, and the other is for much shorter prose poetry. Starting in 2025, we dedicate a month to ekphrastic prose poetry. Ingrid Jendrzejewski is the current Editor-in-Chief.
