There's only one name worth the accolade...
and that's Madonna

Having suffered from media smear attacks for 13 year (or more) simply for satying it as it is, I think Madonna deserves the prize, a prize that exists in millions of people's hearts and is worth more than any (bought?) business prize.

Here are the real reasons why... (if anyone needs reminding)

Goodreads honors wordsmiths: poets and poetry promoted and prompted here. ~~~ "Poetry is the synthesis of hyacinths and biscuits." -- Carl Sandburg “God has a brown voice, as soft and full as beer.” —Anne Sexton On Clouds – “…what primitive tastes the ancients must have had if their poets were inspired by those absurd, untidy clumps of mist, idiotically jostling one another about…” —Yevgeny Zamyatin “If the poet wants to be a poet, the poet must force the poet to revise. If the poet doesn’t wish to revise, let the poet abandon poetry and take up stamp-collecting or real estate.” —Donald Hall “Poetry is a rich, full-bodied whistle, cracked ice crunching in pails, the night that numbs the leaf, the duel of two nightingales, the sweet pea that has run wild, Creation’s tears in shoulder blades.” —Boris Pasternak “Wanted: a needle swift enough to sew this poem into a blanket.” —Charles Simic “Language is a cracked kettle on which we beat out tunes for bears to dance to, while all the time we long to move the stars to pity.” —Gustave Flaubert “Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It’s that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that’s what the poet does.” —Allen Ginsberg. ~~~~~ Amy King, Moderator Amy King is the recipient of the 2015 Winner of the WNBA Award (Women’s National Book Association).

Hello Stacey,

I am so sorry for the late reply. I still am a bit clumsy with the internet, and Goodreads is such a huge site that I do not know where to look, yet, I discover new things on it every day. And I get lost talking about my favourite writers (Dante Alighieri recently, as that is how my mind works.

I am so sorry I have totally forgotten what I was going on about. I'll try to retrace my steps and get back to you.
