New verse changes direction (5)

I believe the answer is:

veers

'changes direction' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'new verse' is the wordplay.
'new' is an anagram indicator.
'verse' anagrammed gives 'VEERS'.

(Other definitions for veers that I've seen before include "Swerves" , "Turns sharply" , "Changes direction abruptly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
