I recieved a notice from The International Library of Poetry that the poem Cancer i wrote will be printed in their book. I entered it just for the hell of it. Is this legit? Has anyone else entered this contest? Please let me know.
Thank you for the imfo.

Becky, I think they publish anyone if they buy the book.

Well i feel like such a fool.
I mailed everything off yesterday including some money.
Ron, what should i do now, just wait or do you think i should e-mail them?
Thankfully i did not send the full amount, just the deposit.
I went to the links you sent and was shocked. I did find humor in some of the responses tho. Sending junk poems etc.
I may do the same.
Thanks for the imfo. and now i know where to post questions too.lol
