Is poetry.com reliable?

Lavelle Viveiros: *Sigh* Poetry.com is nothing more than a vanity publisher. Almost everything submitted is automatically a "semi-finalist" and you are offer an overpriced badly made poetry anthology for $60 bucks that you can buy. You can also pay $600 to go to one of their conventions to get a certificate...Its a big scam....Show more

Linwood Mccory: The unabridged ones are unchanged! from the original text. Abridged means edited and shortened.

Refugio Gastineau: I think abridged means they changed parts of the original literature. So the Audiobooks that have the label Unabridge are word for word from the original.

Coy Tapley: i need a couple of classics to read for my english class. in this case, classics is a pretty broad term. just any book that is highly regarded as a classic will do. i'm fifteen and this is an honors class. it can be any length but i'd prefer it if it were at least 2OO pages. please don't recommend anything twain, dickens, hemingway, steinbeck, or jane austen. as i've read most of their books. i have also read catcher in the rye and the secret life of bees and have enjoyed ! both of these books. i like books that aren't too boring and o! nes that i can relate to but any suggestions would be really helpful. i'm female, but i'm not the biggest fan of romance novels, but that's fine too. i'm a sucker for character development. i was thinking of one flew over the cuckoo's nest but i don't know if its age appropriate. let me know if you've read the book. and what are some other good classics for teens? thanks in advance!

Rickey Vrieze: http://www.eliteskills.com/writing_scams/poetry.co... Follow this link to read about Poetry.com. I don't think you will want to send them anything.

Douglass Sarley: very confusing factor. do a search with google and yahoo. just that may help!

Donella Vasta: Hi...log on to 'poetry scams.org.-another wake up is just to send a 'piece' in that has nothing but garbage in it...like "I think you are a scam, I am/ I am, I am,/If I should win with this/ Give hopeful hearts a kiss (goodby to dreams).They can't be busted, because they deliver, for a price, sh! oddy product.

Len Bormes: yea jus sumtimes abridged...

Mee Blumenfeld: Try "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter" by Carson McCullers, It's a neglected classic a a wonderful book.

Dorinda Metzer: yes it is i do it too

Elden Bardach: I have to say from experience that it is a total scam, and I will never trust them for the rest of my writings days. When I first wrote poetry, I sent a poem to them that had to be the worst one I ever wrote, and they tried to dupe me into buying a book with my poem in it.Needless to say a true contest site would NEVER ask you to pay for your work, they would be paying, YOU....Show more

Cierra Gadbaw: You can rely on poetry.com to try and squeeze as much money as possible out of you. They are running a scam. No good poets have any respect for them.

Hai Biggart: Total Scam! If you are going to buy into poetry.com, might as well replied to the spam you get about penis enlargement pills and send a check to that guy fro! m the Ivory Coast.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poetry.com

Armando! Somes: i dont really like many of the classics, but heres a few we've read in my advanced classes:night by elie wiesel (a book i truly recommend about the holocaust)the scarlet letter by nathaniel hawthorne (not bad, though it could've been told in much less pages)to kill a mockingbird by harper lee (not bad either)the great gatsby by f scott fitzgerald (horrid in my opinion, but still a classic)their eyes were watching god by zora neil hurston (worst book i have ever read, period)animal farm by george orwell (an allegory to the russian revolution)hope i helped and good luck! (:

Boyce Gilhooly: if so then which one. the abridged one or the unabridged one.

Melissa Lavallie: yes- you can trust them...i go there often-it is safe

Donovan Stallons: I agree with Alexandra

Brock Anwar: Black BeautyHeinlein Juveniles

Alonso Crehan: Classic Novels For Teens

Danyell Rowback: It's very safea load of my peoms are one there, and most of them have w! on awards

Angelyn Ducas: I am 14 in an honors class (also a female that's not a fan of romance novels), and my teacher does have us read a lot of classics. So, since its an eighth grade class, they are teen-level classics(trust me, they shouldn't be "below" or "above" your level). Here's the books off of a list she gave us recently. (i'll try and not give too many Twain/Dickens/Hemingway) here they are:Alice's Adventures in Wonderland- Lewis CarrollAnna Karenina- Leo TolstoyAntigone- SophoclesAround the World in Eighty Days- Jules VerneBeowulf- (anonymous)Brothers Karamozov- Fyodor DostoevskyCanterbury Tales- Geoffrey ChaucerCaptains Courageous- Rudyard KiplingCyrano de Bergerac- Edmond RostandDr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde- Robert L. StevensonDracula- Bram StokerGulliver's Travels- Jonathan SwiftHeart of Darkness- Joseph ConradHouse of Seven Gables- Nathaniel HawthorneIdylls of the King- Alfred Lord TennysonInvisible Man- HG WellsLes Miserables- Victor HugoPicture of Dorian! Gray- Oscar WildeUncle Tom's Cabin- Harriet Beecher StoweWuthering Hei! ghts- Emily Bronte Those are the ones that my teacher spoke of in particular (from the list), or just stand out. I hope this helps! :)

Myron Leftwich: poetry.com is a scam. They promise to publish your poems, but they only do so if you pay to get the book, and then its crowded onto a poorly made book. If you don't buy their book they keep sending you offers for books with your poem. All it is is to get money. It is a complete scam, do not fall for it. Everyone who sends in a poem is told that they've made it to the semi-finals and are going to be published.

Danyell Rowback: The Scarlet LetterAnna KareninaMiddlemarch

Donte Liversedge: One Who Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest is excellent (& on this list). I added a list for you with books with a brief description. If you want something controversial read "Johnny Got His Gun" (development, philosophy) and anti-war novel (Metallica based the song "One" on this book that was banned in the 1960's). "To Kill a Mock! ingbird" ,"The Outsiders" ,"The Lord of the Flies" and "The Jungle" are great too.
