Fibrous ribbons convulsing in the arm of a peasant who stabs the vicious mockery of a ruler.

sounds and colours of realness
exploding into the actuality of
moments drifting through time at varying speeds
accelerating decelerating
moving in confused motions, imploding
then exploding again
into a kaleidoscope
of psychedelic things...

Reader-challenging postmodern prose poetry/memoir has gotten a lot of attention through its three published revisions, but that doesn't mean that most readers will find enough pleasure to warrant their time.

~ a skull covered in broken glass -#ProsePoetry

When I grow up, I will be a skull covered in broken glass – a skull full of swirling night skies and bees.

Silence is useless –
it is like dry grass blowing in the wind
it is like a mouse’s slipper sliding over broken glass.

Hejinian's prose poems are mostly mundane memory peppered with stream-of-consciousness criticisms, wishing that somewhere a meaning will open. Usually not: "The obvious analogy is to music."

Read “return to reality…“ by for-much-deliberation on Medium ~
the dangling dregs of yesterday
making life lapse into a past that
can never return to taint this present
with head angled toward new days
new thoughts and moments moving
to the sounds that herald daytime
that puncture mind
then return to reality...

I'm a member of a local writers' group and we have meeting once a month (in person and over Zoom for those who can't or don't wish to be there in person).
This previous weekend's meeting's speaker was giving a talk about poetry.
But she introduced me to something I didn't know existed: prose poetry.
My prose often has poetic elements embedded throughout. I also try to put the reader inside the thoughts of the people in my stories using stream of consciousness. I often intentionally leave things out so the reader can fill it in with their own experience.
I had no name for what this was. I just know most people don't like it. They want straight prose with commas and quotation marks and line breaks and sentences that explain things fully.
My wife doesn't even like the way I write and she can read an entire novel in a couple of days (more impressive because she has suffered chronic migraine / daily persistent headache for a decade).

But this speaker talked about "prose poetry" which describes my usual style almost perfectly.
I'm so excited to have a name for it! It may help me find contests and publications that will actually want to include my works. I've gotten so many rejections that I'm getting disheartened. But I'm submitting my stuff to places expected straight prose and that's not what this is.

Anybody have publications that are receptive to "prose poetry"?

Also, I'm going to be buying this book as soon as I get paid again: The Rose Metal Press Field Guide to Prose Poetry
I may just put it on credit and buy it now.
Any other suggestions for books about prose poetry?
