It is only sold to those who submit the poems, and it costs usually about $200. My friend almost got scammed into it, he got an email saying he was invited to a poetry reading in L.A. and he only needed to pay his money in advance through chequing or visa to a certain website.
Well, actually I've been published before and the book was kind of expensive but it is in college libraries and a couple of stores in Europe (that I know of for sure). They have asked if I want to buy one but I'm not going to. It is just for the sake of being able to say that my work is in print. So the word usually is going a bit far

It's another night in hell, Another child won't live to tell
Can you imagine what it's like to starve to death

And as we sit free and well, Another soldier has to yell
Tell my wife and children I love them in his last breath

C'mon now amen, amen, amen
