Clarify me on POETRY.COM, please!
I read with keen interest Ugochukwu Ejinkeonye's write-ups on POETRY.COM recently. I really am hard presed to be
educated on the activities of that boby.
I have just received a letter from them proclaiming me the
POET OF THE YEAR, saying also that I stand the chance of geting $20,000 and a book contract. I am really at a loss as to what to make out of the
whole thing.
Please, my question to Ugochukwu Ejinkeonye is: what should
I really do? Should I disregard
them totally? The letter states that I should be in America by the 13th of
August.
Please do help me in making a wise decision. I entered the
competition with my brother's address in Australia and he has been the one
geting all the mails on my behalf.
Thanks very much.
