Bringing together interviews with some of the most highly esteemed verse novelists writing for young adults and children today, DiVERSE develops an understanding of the poetics of the verse novel genre.
With poignant conversations with 28 verse novelists illuminating how writers combine elements of poetry and narrative to craft poetic stories, this collection provides the means to appreciate the verse novel's diversity in its many variations and attests to recent shifts in the genre towards inclusive storytelling.Getting into the nuts and bolts of process, inspiration, technique, and the verse novel as a form, the writers discuss themes in their best-loved works such as representation of diverse voices, identities and lived experiences; empowering stories of girls and women; stories of LGBTIQ+, Black, First Nations, People of Colour, Asian, Minoritised Ethnic and people self-identifying as having a disability; body-positive messaging and resilience; and characters between countries, cultures, identities and languages.
A reference text and a writing resource, the book also includes lists of must-read verse novels and a broad introduction from editor Linda Weste.
