yeah, very much so. they're connected to Potery.com, who publishes your stuff in a book they'll try very hard to sell you....however, they don't tell you that your poem is only in your copy. so yeah, i wouldn't trust them at all. btw, the site the other guy gave a link to, www.winningwriters.com is awesome if you want to enter a contest.

You can always determine a scam when you have to pay for your own work. Writing is a real job and if you have to pay to have have your work published, you know the publisher is scamming you.

It isn't very reputable for sure. It relies on the vanity of would be poets to submit their work and then buy the expensive anthologies published.
They are known for accepting any rubbish for printing as this link proves:

any site that makes you pay them to publish your poetry is a scam. It just isn't right that they take money from us poets. we should be making them pay us to publish our art.

You have money, influence, all trush they publish.
It is still true.
Good poets are recognized only after we cost no money
for our work.
