David Beach calls his works "prose sonnets"... an example published in Trout 15. Other poems can be viewed via his NZETC page.
They appear to be, from a brief scan, rough and dirty iambic pentameter (with plenty of elisions, additional syllables, and substitutions). Perhaps too many variations to qualify strictly, but definitely an interesting read.
He has a couple of collections out - "Abandoned Novel" (2006) and "The End of Atlantic City" (2008).
I haven't read either of these, just a couple of individual poems here and there, so not offering an opinion. This is a placemarker - one to come back to later with greater attention.
