Versenovels are a contemporary genre combining the power of narrative with the rich, evocative language of verse or poetry.
Although the narrative structure of a versenovel is similar to that of a novella, the organisation of the story is usually in a series of short sections, often with changing perspectives.
Versenovels are often told with multiple narrators, providing readers with a cinematic view into the inner workings of the characters' minds.
