Days Like Prose, Alan Michael Parker's debut poetry collection, was originally published by Alef Books in 1997. Publishers Weekly described it as "a book of stirring, quiet beauty." And the National Book Critics Circle named it a Notable Book of the Year.

This 2019 edition includes all of the original poems, freshly typeset and designed. Fans of Parker will prize this volume to complete their collections of his work, and readers who have not yet discovered him will have the pleasure of beginning at his beginning.
