Yeah. They want to sell you things. I haven't bought anything.

Thats sad. I don't know... in anything like this theres always a twist.

Yeah I kinda figured that much! They do however offer you a chance to have your poem published whcich is cool. But when they start offering you trips to DC and all you have to do is "...." Then I kinda figured that it was just a scam to make money. I bought one anthology, It was cool to see my poem in there. But thats the extent of their benefits. They don't even give that big of a discount! And the books are still utterly expensive!
Besides I have yet to find one of the books at a library or bookstore! They're not even in circulation!
