Title: ILP makes more money...
Review: While the poetry in this anthology deserves note, the ILP (International Library of Poetry) is exploitative and preys on the novice/unpublished poet. They achieve this rather neatly by promising to publish almost anyone (those deserving and those not) just to secure 'pre-booked' orders for their works. Even at that, if one wants to be 'published', ILP will do it for you; however, be careful of what you do or purchase from them. They are certainly 'for-profit' and think little of the authors that place faith in them. I can't deny that some of the work is very good...but I can say I wouldn't fund them with a dime. If you have it, enjoy it...if not, do not justify them with your $'s. I am published in a few of their anthologies but, I would never suggest someone purchase one! My apologies to the substantial artists in their texts.
