Kerry Mallan and Roderick McGillis have collaborated on a groundbreaking article exploring verse novels generally and Australian verse novels in particular. This article, valuable because it invites discussion rather than resolves issues, is a welcome companion to the growing number of verse novels appearing in several countries. It also explores the process of academic discourse by presenting a dialogue rather than the traditional formal monologue.
