Irene Latham
Irene Latham is a poet and novelist who writes heart-touching tales of unexpected adventure. Her debut midgrade historical novel LEAVING GEE'S BEND (G.P. Putnam's Sons, 2010) is set in Alabama during the Great Depression. A resident of Birmingham, Alabama, for the past 25 years, she has published over 120 poems of various books, journals and anthologies, including a full-length collection WHAT CAME BEFORE, which was named Alabama State Poetry Society's book of the Year and earned a 2008 Independent Publisher's (IPPY) Award. Irene loves exploring new places and often uses "research" as an excuse to travel. Her favorite characters in books and real life are those who have the courage to go their own way.

Irene Latham recommends
One Step Forward (2025)
Marcie Flinchum Atkins
"An inspiring verse novel that offers a blueprint for activism, showing how courage for a cause can grow over time and that activities as small as stuffing envelopes are as important as marching. Readers will leave perhaps empowered to go forth and fight for causes important in their own lives."
