I have taken our link to Poetry.com off our blog. Our friend, Jennifer has discovered that the whole thing is a scam. She has submitted two of her poems and won awards for both (she soon figured there was something fishy about this). My mom submitted one of my brother’s poems years ago. He won an award too and was supposedly published in an anthology which we could have for a price, of course. Not only that but when they published his poem it had numerous mistakes in it and that was after my mom had already corrected it once. This really ticks me off. It’s so cruel. Technically, they aren’t doing anything illegal but morally it is so wrong.
Here’s some links with information on the scam. Jennifer sent me several to my work email so when I get to work today I’ll add the rest. Until then, this is the only one I can remember.
