Has anyone else been published through Poetry.com?

Question

I just received my copy of "Timeless Voices" today and am absolutely thrilled to see my poem in print!

Has anyone else had a poem published by The International Library of Poetry?

Did some searching and it's a scam. Oh naive, gullible me!

Guess I have to fall for something atleast once in my life.

Thanks Zenith, found out a little too late...

Answer 2

Yes! My daughter was, after we paid $$ for the book(s) and then we found out that her cousin had been also!!! Then they started sending us letters wanting her to go to writing conferences to learn more about writing and to meet other writers. Which I might have let her do if we could have afforded it. This is just my opinion but I think they are just after our money but as I said: that is MY opinion!! That was 2 years ago and we still get letters from them, occasionally.
Congratulations on your poem though, I'm sure it is great! And it was a thrill for all of us when Kim got hers published also.

there is compassion left in this international you basically ought to look actual tricky for it. i imagine that typically as in hospitals ,psychological wards , elderly homes etc are so used to the suffering of others that rather of exhibiting care they snort about issues . operating example some human beings react to a demise interior the family individuals with calm and with hardly ever any emotion outwardly exhibiting . yet at the same time as on my own the grief really comes out . I have dealt with elderly homes and also have considered some complications in care in emergency rooms . that's unhappy to hearken to that this human being brazenly laughed at that woman in soreness . you should both have a communique with her or perhaps your manager possibly this persons proper for this way of labor . or you should even remind her that sometime she will be able to be previous and probably have dementia or altimeter and could want help how ought to she experience if someone laughed at her or her mom and father I wager She would not like that in any respect.
