Buying poetry in my hometown is a fruitless task. Every single one of the shops stock a couple of copies of the newest 'release' as well as one or two 'classics', but further than that, one must order. Then, if one is lucky, they can get the desired book from 'head office' or 'the shop in the other part of the country' - otherwise they'll advise you to go to the next shop up the road and there we go again.
There's definitely not enough poetry in my hometown.
