Reviews

Expertly compiled, with a strong focus on diversity and inclusive storytelling, editor Linda Weste skilfully uplifts the voices of 28 verse novelists writing for children and young adults to reveal the power of their narratives. As the poet-novelists tell their stories, the reader is granted beguiling insights into this fascinating format that blurs the boundary between poetry and prose. * Janice Bland, Professor of English Education, Nord University, Norway *
