Reviews about Poetry.com???

I used to submit poems to the site and had some that was supposed to get published in there coffee table book,but since I was unable to buy the book I don't know if they truely got published.I know it is a good site and has gone through alot of changes.I wish you well my friend and hope that you do well with your poetry.Have a great day.

I also used to submit poetry to Poetry.com and I also received several invitations to conventions, forums and the opportunity to be published in one of their anthologies. Not really sure how all of that worked out since I never paid for the books and sometimes I wondered if they would accept any submission regardless of quality because they accepted everything I submitted. I know I have talent, but some of the stuff I sent in was pretty bad on purpose, just to see whether they would still publish it. Anyway, I don't know whether they're a scam, but I would advise you to be careful. I publish some of my poetry on my own site, so I don't worry too much with the competitions like Poetry.com

Poetry.com used to be run by the International Library of Poetry. Until Lulu.com bought the site, they would accept virtually anything that was submitted to them. A poet named David Taub submitted a gibberish poem called "Flubblebop" using the pseudonym "Wergle Flomp" and received a letter from them saying it had been chosen to be included in one of their anthologies. The site was pretty much a way to sell amateur poets products with their work on them in the beginning. It looks like the site has changed hands again since the last time I visited. I don't know anything about Newton Rhymes, LLC, the new company that seems to have taken over. There is not much information about that company online.
