Overview -
• Leading writers explain the verse novel in this valuable book for readers and aspiring writers
• An international list of contributors including inverviews with Bernardine Evaristo (Booker Prize winner, 2019), Fred D'Aguiar (British-Guyanese poet, novelist, playwright) and Alice Jolly (winner of the Royal Society of Literature's V. S. Pritchett Memorial Prize for short stories, 2014 and the PEN/Ackerley Prize for autobiography, 2016).
In these twenty-two interviews with verse novelists from the UK, USA, Australia and Canada, Linda Weste explores the uniqueness of storytelling through poetry and the genre of the verse novel. Her subjects are notable representatives of countries where the genre thrives; among them is Bernardine Evaristo, joint winner of the Booker Prize in 2019; and what they have to say enriches our understanding of the many ways poetry and narratives can meld to create a unique reading experience.
