Poetry
Lee and CCBC community of readers It seems that a poetry award is certainly a reasonable (if not an in sightful) thought. The question might arise if collections/anthologies would be eligible, verse novels, or single poet/single title awards give n. There is a procedure to request ALA to institute a *new* award -- vi sit http://www.ala.org/ala/awardsgrants/awardgov/estnewawards/index.cfm
What I am not sure of is, how one might have the ALSC sponsor the aw ard as that is the only way that the award will be announced at the annu al award ceremony. Unless one conceives of a more spectacular event. P erhaps a gala ball sponsored by publishers prior to the night of the ALS C awards announcements and make the announcements a really festive occas ion that all would vie for tickets. Ticket sales would help fund the aw ard as years went on.
I'm dreaming... but it is a possibility.
I would allow: Single books of poetry by a single poet (award to the poet/illustrat or of the work) Collections of poetry (award to the editor, poet, illustrator of the work) Anthologies of poetry (award to the editor and illustrator of the wo rk) Verse novels (author of novel/illustrator if appropriate) Other books in verse form i.e. picture books with a poetic text (aut hor of book/illustrator)
What do you think Lee -- I would *help* but don't want to manage the proposal on my own. Maybe we should start an initiative and have a com mittee meeting in Anaheim this summer. Need to get it going so people w ho might be interested in joining the initiative could get their plans f or Anaheim.
