Immigration, Displacement and an Interview

I'm happy to have been featured in diVERSEity Month at VerseNovels.com in a post titled Immigration, Displacement and an interview with Holly Thompson.

www.versenovels.comThe interview questions focus on identity, language, migration and displacement issues in my verse novel The Language Inside and in my personal life.

The Language Inside Also featured are verse novels by other authors dealing with these same themes--some of which I've read and enjoyed--Inside Out and Back Again by Thanhha Lai, Under the Mesquite by Guadalupe Garcia McCall, and All the Broken Pieces by Ann Burg. Others--Tropical Secrets by Margarita Engle, Karma by Cathy Ostlere, The Weight of the Sky by Lisa Ann Sandell, and Displacement by Thalia Chaltas I'll be ordering right away.

See also the post on Racially Diverse Characters which also offers up a great list of books and includes my verse novel Orchards in the Asia-related titles.

Happy reading!
