The tagline for Amherst Book is Poetry Starts
I picked up two poetry books: Beachy Head by Emily Toder and The Hero With a Thousand Faces Art by Lilliana Periera and poems by a whole bunch of different poets. This book had a run of just 150 copies; the artist asked poets to choose a piece of her art and write a poem about it. It's a fascinating read. I will also admit to buying a graphic novel, Petty Theft by Pascal Girard and a book for Suann titled, On Ambivalence: The Problems and Pleasures of Having it Both Ways by Kenneth Weisbrode. (One of Suann's pet peeves is the incorrect usage of ambivalence.)
Amherst Books has a website ( http://www.amherstbooks.com/) but the best place to get updates is their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Amherst-Books/122703784432099
