Subject:  A question to librarians about how we buy poetry

Dear Folks,

We publish a wide variety of fiction, nonfiction and poetry.  Though 
our poetry books have won awards and grants and garnered wonderful 
reviews, sales are of course small.  Poetry just isn't a hot seller 
in the US!  What wholesalers and magazines do you folks refer to when 
buying poetry?

(I've been a "lurker" on this list for a couple of years and have found 
it immensely helpful in learning what issues are important to librarians.)

Many thanks for ideas, leads and feedback,
Cynthia Frank
