Documenting The Prose Poem: An International Anthology (updated 2016.11.11)
Background
The first time I encountered this text was in a Literature and Writing class at Emerson College lead by Peter Jay Shippy.
For the next 19 years, I'd search off and on for an affordable copy. Finally, I found a damaged copy that was not repaired by a skilled bookbinder.
Now, my plan is to document it for those persons still looking for a copy of their own. Below is its table of contents. I'm linking to online copies of the poems. If the poem is in translation, I try to find the original translation, but it's simply not possible all the time. In those cases, I'll link to any translation I can find. At some point, I may start writing out my thoughts about each of the poems, but that's far away right now.

Notes and Random Impressions
The anthology is organized by point of origin of the poet, poet, then poem.
Of note is that a vast majority of the poems are translated by the editor Michael Benedikt.
I've often shied away from works in translation. I suppose it's because I think the word translation makes it sound like it is a 1:1 relationship between the texts. One of the most striking aspects of taking a foreign language class is how, given the same source material, students can bring back text which has the same essence but whose style, vocabulary, and nuance is drastically different. In a way, it's like comparing two different people's handwriting of the same word. Sure the meaning is there, but the way you receive that meaning can be drastically different.
I'm going to get statistic heavy for a moment.
In this anthology there are 567 poems.
Of that total number of poems, 452 poems (79.7%) are in translation.
Below is a breakdown of the poems in translation and the poems in English. All percentages are against the total number of poems in the anthology.

Between the 110 (19.4%) poems he either translates or co-translates and 14 (2.5%) of this own poems, Benedikt has a direct hand in roughly 21.87% of the poems. Having a particular writing voice himself, I think it is a disservice to the reader for him to have translated so many of the poems. Too much of the book has too similar of a texture.
