Lion and the Unicorn Award for Excellence in North American Poetry2019

The Lion and the Unicorn Award for Excellence in North American Poetry focuses on North American poetry for young people and carries on the prior tradition begun by the British journal, Signal, to visa mer “instigate, provoke, and sustain a conversation about poetry published for children.” Recipients are now from both the U.S. and Canada. In addition, the Lion and the Unicorn Award includes an essay which discusses the award winners as well as speculates on issues unique to writing and publishing poetry for children, “painting a picture of that year in children’s poetry.” You can generally find those thought-provoking essays in Project Muse, a digital resource of journals in the humanities and social sciences. visa färre
