The Verse Novel: Australia & New Zealand (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781922669230)

In these thirty-five interviews with verse novelists from Australia and Aotearoa-New Zealand, Linda Weste explores the uniqueness of storytelling through poetry and the genre of the verse novel. Her subjects are notable representatives of a region where verse novels for Adults, Children and Young Adults thrive; among them is Steven Herrick, winner of the prestigious Deutscher Jugendliteraturpreis in 2019; and what they have to say enriches our understanding of the verse novel across each of its publishing categories.
