Lulu will not accept my school email format. How can I enter when the site tells me my email is not in email format?

Hi , I will be taking all my poems off this sight !!
All of you are just a cheat . And I know my poems are
good bye the people that want to bye them . I was told I
was a winner and then the sight is taken over by your
company!! So now my poems are just setting aside . And that is a shame.

Hi Debra,
I’m sorry to hear that you no longer would like your poem to be part of Lulu Poetry, but of course we are happy to remove it for you. Please send an email to removal-request@poetry.com and our support team will help you.

Congratulations on winning the contest in the past. I hope that you have good luck with your poetry in the future as well.

Thank you,
Annie

3 years ago my better half sent off and paid for book that had compilation poems in there, It’s now 2009 and no sign of book ! That’s funny because I still have the letter from poetry.com where I won a in spot in this so called book? The book was to be a present for me. BOY AM I SURPRISED !

Hi Samuel,
I’m sorry that you had trouble with the previous owners and did not get your book. Lulu did purchase the domain poetry.com but not the business behind it. Lulu.com and Lulu-Poetry are not affiliated in any way with the former owners of http://www.poetry.com, Watermark Media, who have gone out of business, or their publishing endeavors. We recommend you contact them about any outstanding orders.

Thank you,
Annie

Hello, Annie: So; who are you? I see your business statements re: poetry.com - what a relief?! I’ve gleaned many suspicions about them. Nonetheless; I’m very interested in submitting my poems to you…can you advise me? Thank you sincerely, Adisa Ben Achaki.
