A note to new members on the book project
First let me welcome all the members who have joined over the past 6 months. i hope you find your time here to be a rewarding experience.
You new folks may have heard or will hear that there is an anthology book of site members in the works. This "rumor" is true. Over the next few weeks select members will be asked to submit 3 of their favorite poems to a member of the book committee for consideration for inclusion in the book. Of the 3 poem each contributor submits at least one will be included in the book. the poets who are asked to contribute will be charged nothing for being in the book and thus become a published poet. That's the good news.
Now the bad news. Publishers charge on a per page basis for publishing a book. And the person funding this project does not have unlimited funds. Hence it has been decided that due to budgetary constraints that only authors who have been here a minimum of 6 months and who are active in both posting poetry and giving commentary will be asked to contribute to the book. (By the way, all profits from the sale of this book, if any, will be given to the site.
But take heart. There may well be a yearly book project in the future and if that happens it's likely that those asked to contribute poems will have to once more be a member of at least a set number of time and also an active member. So just stay active and You may well be included if another book is put together. i wish that ALL members could be included but so it goes............stan (scribbler)

Andrew
Does this mean that Neopoet does not support Stan in his generosity of putting himself out to produce a book for Neopoet.
If so why ????
If not then is there another agenda that this site would like to pursue ????
The poetry of this site is some of the best in the world and to let it stay in page after page of Neopoet is a waste.
Please come back to us on the site, and give us the reasons for no support,
Yours, Ian T Howard

Wanted you to know I was here.
Any word on whether they will put their name to the book?

They seem willing
But they, of course, won't make final decision until they can view the final product which is reasonable........stan

Hopefully
the book will result in a minor revenue stream for site as well as a bit of recognition. I know I intend to buy 4-5 books to donate to local libraries.....stan

good gesture
but poetry books rarely sell
I went to a number of bookstalls in Chicago
all books were'' teen based''
not a single book on poetry
well not to discourage you
but high light poetry from
''Oxford of Neopoets''
OR THAT ACADEMY OF INTELLECTUALS IN BOSTON
HARVARD NEOPOETS KIND POETS
mostly name sells
FOR OXFORD SAY ''OXFED''
HARVARD SAY ''HARWED ''
SIMILAR SOUNDING NO LEGAL BINDING
GET SOME BOSTON
EX PREZ OR POTUS TO ENDORSE IT
etc etc etc
Just sharing experience Stan
