It's available through Amazon.com Amazon doesn't sell it directly, but it is available through several dealers who list through Amazon.com. Amazon states that the publisher is poetry. Com, which is run by the International Library of Poetry.Poetry.com is a company that has had many complaints about it, so you might want to be cautious about ordering their publications.

There is a long article about them and their questionable reputation in Wikipedia. If you still want to buy the book, though, you shouldn't have any trouble finding a copy through Amazon. From Wikipedia: poetry.com From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search The correct title of this article is poetry.com.

The initial letter is shown capitalized due to technical restrictions. Poetry.com is a web site run by The International Library of Poetry, also known as the International Society of Poets and the International Poetry Hall of Fame,1 a Maryland-based company considered by many to be a vanity publisher. Poetry.com coordinates monthly poetry contests and other services through its website, though the actual competitive nature of these contests is disputed.

The site's primary purpose seemingly is the sale of poetry anthologies containing poems submitted by aspiring authors, and invitations to poetry conventions hosted by the group. The Better Business Bureau of Greater Maryland classifies the business as a vanity publisher, and notes that the quality of the poetry submitted to them "does not appear to be a significant consideration for selection for publication. "2 Contents hide 1 Contests and conventions 2 Criticism 3 References 4 External links edit Contests and conventions Poetry.com runs regular contests, and publishes books of finalists.

In order to qualify for the contest, a poem must be written in 20 lines or less, with a maximum of 60 characters per line. The author must also enter his or her mailing address in order for the poem to be judged in the contest. There are no other guidelines and, apparently, no artistic or academic criteria against which the submitted poems are judged.

2 Many claim that almost all poems submitted to the competitions are selected as semi-finalists (thus qualifying for publication).3 The published books are sold at $59.95 per copy, and (against standard industry practice for poetry competitions) winners do not receive free copies. Insertion of a biography along with a poem is possible, although an additional $25 fee is charged for this. These books are generally considered to be of low quality, are over 500 pages in length and include at least six poems per page.4 It is primarily for this reason that many authors consider Poetry.com (and similar groups) to be a vanity press.

The company also organizes regular conventions, at which they hand out awards for poems they have included in their books. In order to attend, the authors must pay an individual entrance fee of USD$595, which does not include travel, food, or Amazon. Com0 should also be noted that they will often mail the authors of the poems accepted into the anthology-like books and tell them that they may for an additional cost record their poem onto a CD that will be sold along with the anthology.

All who accept the offer will then be placed onto poor quality CD that is a continuous loop of poetry readings of all participants. The CD does not feature any set list, and will sometimes distort parts of words. Citation needed edit Criticism This section does not adequately cite its references or sources.

Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. (help, get involved!) This article has been tagged since March 2007. There have been a number of complaints to organizations in the United States, such as the Better Business Bureau, by those who feel they have been misled by poetry.com.

Some consider the International Library of Poetry and its activities to be a fraud and/or a scam; they cite the fact that Amazon. Com1's promotional materials lead participating writers to believe that their poems were selected for the website's monthly contest because of their quality, when in fact virtually all submissions "advance" to the semi-finals. At that point, the would-be authors are encourged to spend money on copies of the compilation books and/or visits to the poetry conventions.

Additionally, although Amazon. Com1's website claims that these books are available at "major bookstores",5 attempts to purchase these books from major retailers such as Barnes and Noble or Amazon.com generally fail. As of November 2006, there is no verifiable report of any successful legal action being taken against the company for alleged fraud.

According to the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America's Writer Beware web site, however, the Maryland Attorney General's Office is interested in hearing from writers who have had dealings with the International Library of Poetry.3 edit References ^ Writer Beware: Contests and Vanity Anthologies.
