- W1526468285 abstract "As the planet approaches peak oil production, the judges of the Lion and the Unicorn Poetry Award wonder if we have already passed peak poetry produc- tion. This year marks the fifth anniversary of the award, yet the number of poetry books contending for it was appreciably lower than in previous years. Adjusting to a smaller field has its rewards: we can cull the best of the best without wading through oceans of effluvia. This year's stellar collections include Marion Dane Bauer's The Longest Night, Heidi Mordhorst's Pumpkin Butterfly: Poems from the Other Side of Nature, and Andrea Cheng's Brushing Mom's Hair. In a normal year (and we trust that this year is not the new normal!) these would be candidates for the award, yet we suspected, and our research confirmed, that many of the children's poetry books published in 2009 did not reach us—including, for instance, new work by a past honoree, Helen Frost. Therefore, after some collective soul-searching, we decided not to pick a winner this year. If the field of children's poetry is indeed shrinking along with the national economy, then surely those books that are published must be vigorously promoted, so that they make it into the hands of teachers, librarians, parents, children—and yes, contest judges. That said, even this year we enjoyed a reduced but still dazzling array of poems: some timid, some bold, some mediocre, some good, and a few real stunners. In addition to judging the contest this year, judge Angela Sorby also happens to be editing a collection of nineteenth-century children's poetry. She notes that some of the collections in this year's group hearken back, seemingly unconsciously, to older commercial traditions, including textbook didacticism and nature-study. Nineteenth-century nature study poems tended to be reverent, faintly educational paeans to grasses and herons. Jane Yolen treads this worn path in A Mirror to Nature: Poems about Reflection," @default.
