I heard from several people one reason ALA does not consider having a POETRY AWARD (and I don't know if this is fact) is that poetry is considered for

the Newbery Award. This makes no sense in that Gay Literature would be considered for a Newbery also, no? Strange thinking ... again if this is true.
