An International Poetry Anthology featuring 34 avant-garde voices Published by Sulfur Editions and (ANA ) Ahmed Bal Hamar Can poetry survive stripped of its classical armor? In this foundational issue of Prose Without Borders-bearing the title Fusion-we present you with far more than a mere literary periodical; we open before you a living ontological laboratory. Here, thirty-four avant-garde voices of leading poets, critics, and scholars from diverse continents converge to demolish the illusory walls dividing literary genres. From the depths of the Middle East to the Anglo-American landscape, and from European experimentation to Asian modernity, these visions merge to forge a parallel language that mirrors the fragmentation of contemporary humanity, its alienation, and its innate yearning for absolute freedom. Anchoring this edition is a meticulous, analytical critical study that decodes the ciphers of the "prose poem" both globally and within the Arabic tradition. This study is followed by rebellious creative texts that extract their subtexts from forgotten details, dark ironies, and "the surrealism of the mundane." Prose Without Borders is not a fold for prevailing literary genres; rather, it is the final line of defense for the freedom of imagination-an aesthetic manifesto proving that when poetry unburdens itself from constraints, it possesses the galaxy.
