I know the news has already been broken to you, but I wanted to share my experience. It is a scam. They supposedly published my poem, and I even sent the money for the book! I did not receive a book, nor did they even print my poem in their anthology!!

A few years ago, a study was conducted with Poetry.com and a group of 2nd graders. The kids were asked to write a poem, and all of them were sent to the contest. Every single one of the kids were sent notices saying their poem was a semi-finalist, and it would be published...IF they bought the book!

Take my advice...don't have anything to do with them. It was very wise of you to check up on them first!
