Features: I have had a similar interest in how the art of the essay can break through for several years. I believe that the concept of "prose" is somewhat similar to that of poetry—it is both a very difficult genre to define and a very difficult genre to standardize in rhetorical terms. For example, when we read some novels, poems, or even dramatic works that are not standardized in terms of artistic form, we often call them "prose-like," such as "prose-like novels" or "prose-like poems." This shows that prose has a very broad scope; it can permeate various genres and play a role in subverting already solidified artistic forms. As a result, strict formal norms are given new artistic vitality through dilution, dissolution, and subversion. So, is there a kind of prose that can be called "prose-like"?
