I see this part of Erato is called 'Ask the Poet Lariat.' So who is this lariat guy? Why hasn't anyone asked him anything lately?
Here's question -- and I'm quite serious -- how do you feel about 'charging' prose in accordance with the same principles used for poetry?
Maybe I should break this large question into smaller units. What is the role for rhyme and other sound effects in prose? How important is compression or concision? Should prosewriters pay more attention to rhythm or cadence in their language? Is there (or should there be) such a thing as metered prose?
