Poets Symposium

[Hippychickali]

According to this article, from February 25th - 27th there will be the International Society of Poets Spring Conference and Symposium at the World. Does anyone know anything about this?

Somebody should tell Susie Freeman of DeRidder and the website that reported this. She's going to be very disappointed.

Why don't you tell her? You could be doing her a huge favor!

One of my friends from Australia almost got taken in by this scam. He's a very gifted poet and he just about had his bags packed....he was very excited and couldn't believe he'd be going to a poetry convention AND Disneyworld all at the same time.

He was very disappointed to say the least.

I would say if you saw the information and knew someone else thought it was real, I'd let them know that it was nothing but a scam.

Good luck!

I would to but I obviously don't know this person. I simply read about her in the article that I referenced in my OP.
