International Society Of Poets ripoff You pay but it can be nice to see Owings Mills Maryland
I have been put into books by Poetry.com. I know it is a scam, but it is nice to see my work put into print. I had to pay a lot of money to see this. That is the big problem. I can buy a published poetry book for less than I paid to see my own.
