Stormy,
First off let me say that I think you're an awesome poet, and what I'm about to tell you is in no way meant to demean your poetry. I did a search on "The International Society of Poets Summer Convention and Symposium" and I found the following at ripoffreport.com

After you've read this web page, go to the bottom of the page and do a Company Search of "International Library of Poetry", which is also known as poetry.com, and you will find 27 more reports against this company. I'm not saying whether or not they're trying to scam you, but please be careful before you commit any money to them.
