I hate to tell you that poetry.com is a scam. I also entered a poem into them and I was so excited to get a letter in the mail saying I was a semi-finalist. Then after reading through the letter I realized that it was a scam because they want you to pay them to put your poem in a book that won't even be published.
I was so disappointed and after it happened to me I went and looked them up. Turns out TONS of people had experienced this with poetry.com. Some even paid them and never got a book. One sent in a poem that was a famous poem and they sent them back a letter saying they were a semi-finalist. Another wrote a poem cursing them out and they got a semi-finalist letter for that one.
It is really a shame, and I know I felt terrible when I found out that it was a scam.
