League Of American Poets (poetry.com) I paid them for 3 books and they said the check never cleared. I got a run around when I called to get it straightened out. I left a message on the voicemail for the manager but i have not heard back yet. My daughter certainly thought this was an honor to have her poem selected but when the same thing happened to me and my son, we started to get suspicious. I hope these folks go to jail.
