I am still waiting for an anthology from the International Library of Poetry that should have been delivered years ago. Before some penny-pinchers decided to scream "scam", the poetry organization delivered fine volumes which I would buy or not if my poetry was accepted to be published. Many people don't care to accept the publisher terms and see their own poem in print alongside many other peoples' poems, and that is their option when submitting original poetry — but to start-up some kind of political machine that slams the companies into a noncommunicative state can't be the way to protest a business-method that does not demand anyone's poetry or participation.
Idle cheapskates who hop on the first scam-screaming bandwagon that comes along should think about how a legitimate publishing experience has been fouled-up among others who enjoy poetry contests and publication participation.

So do you think NOBODY gets the prizes?
I recently submitted two poems to Poetry.com., and still didn’t get an acceptance email.
There is no way they can charge me for something I didn’t order, right?
