Me, I like Eliot, and Pound, and all that stuff. Well, I guess it comes down to what you consider to be "lyrical/poetic". That's just a few of the more notable ones-no doubt I'm missing many in my haste. John Harrison is widely praised by his peers (and, among countless others, me) for his superb prose, which someone or t'other has-accurately, I think-described as "laser-etched": but "lyrical/poetic" it is not.Ī few writers whose prose is an especially notable part of their appeal might include (alphabetically): Lord Dunsany is probably the master of lyrical, poetic prose.
