"No one knows hard work and dedication like Valentina Camacho. And Vale’s thing is fencing. She’s the top athlete at her fencing gym. Or she was . . . until the accident."

On this #PoetryFriday, I’m remembering the first novel in verse for young adults that I read, and I’ve loved reading them ever since. Meg Kearney, a poet and teacher in New Hampshire, is the author of THE SECRET OF ME.

Two copies of a hardcover novel-in-verse called Walking Wheel by Molly Fisk, standing up on a wooden table next to a half-drunk latte. The book has a gold and brown William Morris design background, sort of a wheat field motif, with the title and author in white and a graphic in dark brown and dusty coral of two men carrying something between them on a stick. It looks like three very large (torso-sized) strawberries, but that can't be right. This book drops on April 7th from Red Hen Press.
Learning to read (in public) from a novel-in-verse, when all I've written before are discrete poems. Yesterday was my second try, better than the first. If you have any tips, I'd love to hear them! 📚⏳ #walkingwheel #redhenpress #novelinverse #hardwork #lovestory #quietwestern
Disordered eating takes center stage in this #YA debut #novelinverse bookshop.org/a/102434/978... #library #books #librarian #bookrecommendation #librarians #tlsky #skybrarian #skybrarians
My new verse novel Walking Wheel with orange cover and white lettering is held in the arm of an oversized concrete lizard riding in an old rust colored Model T Ford (I think) with lavender interior. A black steering wheel is in the background center left, and a high paned window is up in the right corner. This is public art by Solomon Bassoff/Faducci, and the photo was taken in his studio in North San Juan, CA.
My pre-orders are landing today, some perhaps not on Planet Earth! It is so fun. Pub date is still 4/7. #booksky #walkingwheel #novelinverse #versenovel #historicalfiction #pioneersexandalsochildbirth #tenderfunnyeroticsurprising #redhenpress #getoneforyourselfandoneforyourlibrary

Against a cream background the title reads: "STOLEN COLORS By Khushboo Patel." On the left is a photo of the cover of Khushboo Patel’s book “Stolen Colors” which depicts an looking over her shoulder while standing in front of a blank white canvas with a floral wall behind. Around the top and right of the book cover are arrows from descriptions that read: ‘introduces a tough topic,’ ‘addresses shame,’ ‘offers an age-appropriate discussion,’ and ‘normalizes big feelings.’ A quote box reads: “Kirkus called it: ‘A carefully crafted opening for difficult but important conversations.’” In the top right corner is a red sticker that reads: “Available Now.” At the bottom is “Learn more” with an arrow pointing to: “www.sarahsteinbacher.com/blog/interview-khushboo-patel”
