I'm thrilled to report that because of a Blueboarder posting (and because of another posting announcing the deadline change), I submitted several poems for this anthology and got them in by the revised deadline. One of my poems will appear in this anthology, which will be published in August 2012, to coincide with the London Olympics. The book will be available as a paperback and as an e-book.  For more information, check out Sylvia Vardell's blog, Poetry for Children, for an interview with co-editors Carol-Ann Hoyte and Heidi Bee Roemer about And the Crowd Goes Wild!: A Global Gathering of Sports Poetry http://poetryforchildren.blogspot.com/2012/04/5q-poet-interview-series-carol-ann.html

Congratulations, Ellen!  I'm looking forward to reading your poem.

I have a poem coming in the anthology as well, as do a few of my crit buddies!

I think it's going to be great. Very excited to see the illustrations by Kevin Sylvester. I loved the sample ones on the flyer.

Thanks Vijaya, Cindy, Kim, AzGuy, and Diana.

Hope you enjoy the anthology!

Diana--I look forward to seeing your poem--and all the Kevin Sylvester illustrations--looks like he has a splendid sense of humor. What other poets do you know whose work is included in the anthology?

Yes, I really like his work!

The three contributors I know who are blueboarders and also happen to be in my online crit group are: Carrie, Gayle, and Liana.

Don't forget about me! :) I've got a poem in there too. I'm a BB but actually don't post very frequently. Congrats to all of you with poems in the anthology. I love the illustrator's work as well. I think it's going to be a great publication!

Thanks, Ev, Diana, and everyone.

I'm excited about it. We just got the proofs to review and it does look like it is going to be a great book.
