Re-reading this book felt particularly relevant to me at this time of terrible violence in Gaza - and I will be sharing a few of the poems this Thursday at the Rochambeau library, during an event hosted by the RI ACLU. Nye has won numerous prestigious awards and honors, including four Pushcart Prizes and the Paterson Poetry Prize. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6047cd79fd51b3310a2cc019/1671218449022-Z2KHBVIFHM416Z1TE2Z4/BROWN_GIRL_DREAMING_COVER.jpg Diverse Verse | Blog - Banned Poetry Books to Treasure - Make it stand out As this image shows, Young Peoples Poet Laureate Emeritus, Jacqueline Woodson's memoir in verse (about this esteemed poet's childhood in Brooklyn in the 1960's and 70's) for middle grade readers is one of the most highly decorated books to have been published in recent times. BROWN GIRL DREAMING swept the award lists the year it was published; among the many shiny stickers that grace its cover are the National Book Award Gold Medal, Coretta Scott King Award, Newbery Honor etc. This beloved book has already become part of the literary canon for young people. B,ut despite (or perhaps because) it is surely destined to become a classic, BROWN GIRL DREAMING has also unfortunately been subjected to book challenges. https://www.diverseverse.com/blog/interview-with-kari-anne-holt-evoke-to-know-activity monthly 0.5 2024-11-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6047cd79fd51b3310a2cc019/680ba74e-0c8a-41ba-adfb-98e47e69a2f9/tkuts.jpg Diverse Verse | Blog - “Evoke to Know” : Learning from K.

An eclectic list of Asian Poets - THE LANGUAGE INSIDE Holly Thompson is an author who has lived and raised a family in Japan, and this novel deals, among other things, with complex issues of identity , as do her other verse novels (Orchards, which was an APALA award winner, and Falling Into the Dragon’s Mouth, an NCTAsia Freeman Book Award title). I love and often teach the title poem “the language inside” which is a moving tribute to all who are bilingual and feel that they belong to more than one culture, and this poem is most creative uses of the form that I’ve ever come across in a verse novel - if for no other reason than to read this single poem, please do pick up this book! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6047cd79fd51b3310a2cc019/7fba8e4c-a8a0-46ad-8930-edd3e83f9634/Hiranandani_Veera_How_To_Find_What_Youre_Not_Looking_For.jpg Diverse Verse | Blog - An eclectic list of Asian Poets - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6047cd79fd51b3310a2cc019/1649265720592-LE9Y3X0JG8Q0CC7KX2DI/bk_tap_dancing_238px.jpg Diverse Verse | Blog - An eclectic list of Asian Poets - Tap Dancing On the Roof Tap Dancing On the Roof is a Delightful collection of Sijo Poems by Linda Sue Park https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6047cd79fd51b3310a2cc019/b1bbc4e4-aa67-43a7-9b17-6ccd48b949b3/tempImageVJqImV.jpg Diverse Verse | Blog - An eclectic list of Asian Poets - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6047cd79fd51b3310a2cc019/1684946302159-JEUTPE5Y01HFHX73HS6B/IMG_0109.jpeg Diverse Verse | Blog - An eclectic list of Asian Poets https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6047cd79fd51b3310a2cc019/1684946324750-YXMPEB8HWWHOTNVBYN5B/IMG_0108.jpeg Diverse Verse | Blog - An eclectic list of Asian Poets https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6047cd79fd51b3310a2cc019/1684946345086-GSG1RMQ95LOT2Z8OYDNG/IMG_0110.jpeg Diverse Verse | Blog - An eclectic list of Asian Poets https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6047cd79fd51b3310a2cc019/1684946366593-8HMNUBJ81DPOUQI8SS95/IMG_0111.jpeg Diverse Verse | Blog - An eclectic list of Asian Poets https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6047cd79fd51b3310a2cc019/1684946381053-SJQAI34H9D4GW7834CAC/IMG_0112.jpeg Diverse Verse | Blog - An eclectic list of Asian Poets https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6047cd79fd51b3310a2cc019/6d0db08e-cff4-4dfe-bdf8-867d2b900e55/IMG_0083.jpeg Diverse Verse | Blog - An eclectic list of Asian Poets - Mirror To Mirror One of the coolest perks of being an author is receiving books in the mail - and sometimes advance reader editions of books that aren’t yet on other shelves. I was delighted to add the ARC of Mirror to Mirror to my collection. Here’s yet another lyrical verse novel by Newbery-Honor Winning Author Rajani LaRocca, which I’m sure will win many admirers. LaRocca is a brilliant wordsmith with an ear for the musicality of language and in this latest verse novel, about twins of South Asian heritage growing up in the United States, she makes the language sing, just as she did in her debut verse novel. I am certain that this latest will soar with success, as did her multiple award-winning RED, WHITE AND WHOLE. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6047cd79fd51b3310a2cc019/726be517-5bd5-4bd6-91d4-f1e1a8264917/IMG_0080.jpeg Diverse Verse | Blog - An eclectic list of Asian Poets - Call me Adnan CALL ME ADNAN is Faruqi’s third verse novel, and easily the one I love best of her three. Just as LaRocca’s Mirror to Mirror delves into the relationship between twin sisters, central to CALL ME ADNAN is a sibling relationship - in this case the bond between an elder brother and an at times pesky younger brother. This book’s journey is off to a great start with a JLG selection and a starred review from Publishers Weekly, which calls it a “tender story of loss… employing vivid details surrounding Adnan’s Pakistani Muslim identity… and nuanced characterizations to present a tear-jerking ode to family.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6047cd79fd51b3310a2cc019/1684943609034-G3T1Y2AYD58K93T8DPGM/IMG_0100.jpeg Diverse Verse | Blog - An eclectic list of Asian Poets https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6047cd79fd51b3310a2cc019/1684943628337-Z5PMFTDBMK5TFT4D8H15/IMG_0103.jpeg Diverse Verse | Blog - An eclectic list of Asian Poets https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6047cd79fd51b3310a2cc019/1684943649228-JBXP32QN6BB3WMZ445LW/IMG_0102.jpeg Diverse Verse | Blog - An eclectic list of Asian Poets https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6047cd79fd51b3310a2cc019/1684943667516-F05G67QFKIBQ4U65OPKV/IMG_0104.jpeg Diverse Verse | Blog - An eclectic list of Asian Poets https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6047cd79fd51b3310a2cc019/1684943684061-OTXTLXO0M9GZBVFQV8WD/IMG_0105.jpeg Diverse Verse | Blog - An eclectic list of Asian Poets https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6047cd79fd51b3310a2cc019/1684943703682-GCVIVBMAQVKCOLOHN0SD/IMG_0106.jpeg Diverse Verse | Blog - An eclectic list of Asian Poets https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6047cd79fd51b3310a2cc019/1684943722547-8NZ6JSCY01VX5OIXKM0U/IMG_0107.jpeg Diverse Verse | Blog - An eclectic list of Asian Poets https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6047cd79fd51b3310a2cc019/7ff44764-1b5c-4381-82d3-987fb947fe64/IMG_0081.jpeg Diverse Verse | Blog - An eclectic list of Asian Poets - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6047cd79fd51b3310a2cc019/1673564167402-QLO1M4A7O69C3RU3X7N5/SheSangForIndia.jpeg Diverse Verse | Blog - An eclectic list of Asian Poets - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6047cd79fd51b3310a2cc019/d679ab3f-6308-49cb-bdca-abb08b1b2d3d/IMG_0090.jpeg Diverse Verse | Blog - An eclectic list of Asian Poets - A Suitcase of Seaweed & More This is not only a delightful and insightful collection of poems by Janet Wong, winner of the NCTE Award for Excellence in Poetry for Children; this new edition is also a magnificent resource which, in addition to the poems, contains writing prompts and suggestions.

Welcoming Two New South Asian American Verse Novels - Make it stand out Reem shared with me this beautifully written story-behind-her-story. The Story Behind the Verse Words intimidate me. This may be the reason why I gravitate mostly to books for younger readers where there are less words. I didn’t even know where the adult section of my library was until recently. I am a picture book author and didn’t think of myself as writing for older children. However, after receiving feedback from a couple of editors for a picture book where something I wrote sounded like a chapter book, my first agent encouraged me to write for older children. I was a little reluctant initially but thought I would give middle grade a try. So four years ago I started my novel. I knew I wanted it to be about an immigrant character like me. First drafts are often very rough and mine was a tangle of thoughts, anecdotes, and memories. Desperate for feedback, I sent it to my agent Ilse Craane in September of 2016 to see if I was on the right track and she encouraged me saying, “I read a little of your MG and you’re doing great! I think we were right, and so were the editors, that you are more suited to write novels! The language is wonderful and I think you’re developing some great characters and ideas. I didn’t read all of it because it seems very raw still. It reads a little like a novel-in-verse, which could work, is that what you are thinking?” I hadn’t really tinkered with novels in verse. I did enjoy reading them, but did not think much about writing my own. I didn't even know it was an option for me. I shelved my manuscript for a while and checked out many novels in verse. I loved how these books could be tender and tough and tackled deep topics. All the while, I wanted to tell my story in the best way possible. At that time, it was told by multiple characters’ points of view and was written in clunkier prose. I changed it up so that only my main character Nurah was telling the story. I deleted a couple characters including one called Mouseface! I then took the most poetic and pretty words and started putting them in verse. This process felt freeing. I loved the white spaces and how the words looked less cluttered. The words breathed. They looked happier in verse. I loved adding an emotional punch at the end of each verse paragraph. After years of working and giving up on my story, I was delighted when my novel in verse UNSETTLED got me my current agent Rena Rossner. Rediscovering verse opened up a new literary world for me, a world where words became less intimidating. To me, verse is the most freeing way to write. Here’s a sneak peak at 2 pages from UNSETTLED: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6047cd79fd51b3310a2cc019/1621531164409-R0L1D4N8CMNIL68ZE5M1/IMG-5373.jpg Diverse Verse | Blog - Welcoming Two New South Asian American Verse Novels -

The Diverse Verse initiative began in April 2020. Please visit us again as we continue to grow and add to our book lists, articles, interviews, resources and more. Thank you! https://www.diverseverse.com/about daily 0.75 2023-04-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6047cd79fd51b3310a2cc019/1617200726982-ZSN19B6FDYWJF7U3CT47/IMG-5039.jpg About The Diverse Verse initiative grew out of the seed of an idea that came to Padma Venkatraman. If you would like to be featured in an interview, have your book (of poetry or a verse novel for young people) reviewed on this website, or have an idea for a guest blog post you would like to write or wish to assist with this effort in any other way, please contact Padma Venkatraman via her website, twitter (@padmatv) or ig/fb (venkatraman.padma). We are delighted to announce that the Highlights Foundation has offered to partner with us to provide a scholarship for one diverse writer to attend a virtual verse novel writer workshop this fall, for which the keynote speaker is Nikki Grimes. For more information on this opportunity, stay in touch! We are also gratefully looking forward to working with our first intern, Avalon Felice Lee, this summer. If you are interested in working as an intern, please reach out to Dr. Venkatraman. This website is currently maintained by Anindita Basu Sempere, Lisa Stringfellow, Ari Tison and Padma Venkatraman. https://www.diverseverse.com/donate daily 0.75 2023-03-30
