No, but at that price the author could afford to buy stock. Since the book is poetry, they would probably sell at non-bookstore venues where the author does readings. In those cases the author would most likely have to bring their own stock.
And please, that's not a slam against self-publishing. It's an acknowledgement that poets often do readings and signings in different venues. In fact, I kinda think self-publishing might be better for most poets simply because the market is so different. They'd probably stand to make better money.
