According to The Australian Literary Review
which is as pompous & oldfashioned as its name suggests, &, like so much of the literary establishment in these parts, licks its own ass & likes the taste of what it finds there—shit that is stylistically at least threescore & ten years old—these were the ten best-selling books of poetry throughout the country in the last week.

it's just a complete list of titles in the 'poetry' section at my local angus & robertson
Christ, Derek, you're well-serviced in Wagga! I think I could probably find the Odyssey in the classics section of our local A&R, possibly The Prophet in the new age section, & I actually did see a single copy of the Leonard Cohen—around the time of his tour—as one of the three books that comprise the poetry section. (I think the other two were about flowers, or cats, or some such.)
