I'm not at all impressed with them. They have "accepted" two poems that I have submitted -- nice, but then they keep sending me paperwork to buy, buy, buy --- a copy of IT decoupaged to a wonderful wooden plaque, suitable for hanging in my home; a bound copy including my poem (for an exorbitant price). I'm not sure who is vain enough to deal with these folks, I'm sure of my level of poetic license, and don't need validation from such a "money hungry" group.

They will publish anything and tell you you're the next poetic genius of the country. Now, for only $40, you can buy a book in which your poem is printed, along with a hundred worthless poems by non-poets. Not a good deal.

It's ok. I just don't enjoy it as much as I thought I would. I do better by going into certain literary periods and reading at random whatever catches my eye that day. Poetry is such a beautiful but very personal thing.

yeah i received a letter from them telling me I was going to possibly win $20,000.00 for my poem as I had been nominated potential "Poem of the Year" which took place in Nevada last wekend. As it turned out, I didn't win anything, as I cannot aford to go anywhere to recite my poem, and they just left me up in the air.

Don't waste your time. Every poem I submitted "supposedly" got published, even my lame ones. I think its all a gimmick to send in money so you get a book.

yes, I have poems published through them. Downside, reputable publishers will not accept online publishment as prior publishment, when you are attempting to acquire grants or scholarships for future writing.

I think they tell everybody that they have great skill..even if their entries sucked. I've had several friends all with the same results

Don't trust it. It's a type of "vanity press" that will flatter you into giving them money (usually for a book).
