I love this simple answer Glyn Maxwell provides as a definition for “prose poetry”:
“A prose poem is prose done by a poet.”

“…Roland Barthes called the “dilatory space” on which the pleasure of narrative gratification depends; neither is it a matter of what James Wright called “prose lines” in poems, lines of lesser intensity that create a backdrop or a launching pad for rhetorically heightened lines.”
-James Longenbach (The Virtues of Poetry)
