www.Foetry.com deserves praise in National Poetry Month. If you were to
spend a $50 reading fee to enter your MS in a contest that had already
been rigged in favor of the judges' buddies, you'd consider screaming
for blood too!
The Foetry Web site outs Mark Strand, Richard Howard, and Jorie Graham
(inter alia) as notorious in using aspiring poets' entry fees to publish
works by their buddies, lovers, stooges, and students.

Website polices rhymes and misdemeanors

How can one not approve of subversive behavior, especially when it is in
such short supply? So how can one not savor the take-no-prisoners
website Foetry.com, devoted to exposing coziness and corruption in the
understandably undermonitored world of poetry?
