Discussion:
What is the name of your state? I live in California and I have been posting my poetry at poetry.com for the passed seven years and during this time I have been nominated as Poet of the Year for seven years in a roll. during this time also I have been asked by The International Library of Poerty to use several of my poems in their antologies there in Washington DC. I was always sent when asked each time a release of authorization form which I had to sign by a certain date and return to them if I gave permission or not sign nor send back if I decided not to give them permission to publish my poem. On Jan. 19th of this year I decovered that they have published over ten of my poems without my written authorization in one their series of antologies "Letters From The Soul" nor have I been sent any release forms or any information as to what anthologies they would be appearing in. I just happen to be at the poetry.com site under my name Fleshschene Brown and saw the antology at the bottom of each of the new poems that I posted at there site for viewing only. I said I have no paper work in my possion for these but I do have paper work stating what poem will be published in what antologe for the onces that i gave them permission to publish. I am in need of some legal advice as to what to do about this illegal use of my poetry, by the way which I have soul copyrights of.
