SAD NEWS: The wonderful poet/anthologist and NYC librarian, LILLIAN MORRISON, died l/27, at the age of 96. Lillian and I were neighbors when I lived in Washington Heights in NYC. She was the recipient of the ALA Grolier Foundation Award for her outstanding contribution to bringing children and reading together. Among her last original collections were WHISTLING THE MORNING IN (1992) and WAY TO GO! SPORTS POEMS (2001; both published by Wordsong/Boyds Mills Press).
  Her well-known anthology, SPRINTS AND DISTANCES: SPORTS IN POETRY AND POETRY IN SPORT ( (T. Y. Crowell, 1995) took her ten years to research and collect with verses ranging from Virgil to Ogden Nash and David McCord.
  Below is the first page of an interview I conducted with her for my BOOKS ARE BY MORE PEOPLE.
