As you no doubt noticed if you have already visited the NCTE website about their Award for Excellence in Poetry, prior to 1982, the award was given every year, rather than every three years. The website address is: http://www.ncte.org/elem/poetry/archive.html

The earliest poets honored for the award were:

1977 - David McCord 1978 - Aileen Fisher 1979 - Karla Kuskin 1980 - Myra Cohn Livingston

Tana Elias conducted an interview with Karla Kuskin for the Friends of the CCBC Newsletter a couple of years ago. This interview is archived on the CCBC web page at: http://www.education.wisc.edu/ccbc/friends/kuskin.htm
