Hey CALI - very nice article... I'm surprised you didn't list poetry.com and other such companies on your list of UGH!
Some poetry companies even "print" "anthologies" for purchase and such... It's a business scam that relies on the purchase of anthologies to survive. Now this is not such a BAD thing, as there are some of us whom would love to see our works in print any way we can get it.....
Different story entirely - So anyway my question to you is this: My poetry manuscript has been sitting around collecting dust for some odd years now - Is there a publisher of poetry whom you can refer me to?
If interested view excerpts:

Website kinda sux & takes a few seconds to load - but the manuscript is really well put together in such a professional way that it boggles my mind to think it hasn't been published yet -------> A published author friend of mine says that the manuscript is very publishable, it just hasn't found the right editor yet.
Anyway - thanx for the article and the info - Much appreciation, as I for one knows there are many scandals out there!
Jacquii.
