Please Plant this Book. Richard Brautigan.
I came across a pretty cool website which has put up aRichard Brautigan’s Please Plant This Book, a 1968 books that consists of eight packets of garden seeds, each with an imprinted poem. Why the act of planting text into the earth? Each poem reads like a tangible ray of hope and a prayer that is offered to the living. I somehow feel that Brautigan is weary of too much knowing and has chosen to replace knowledge with begone innocence. Even thoughts buried in soil, will eventually decay.
I love the idea of planting seeds taken from packets of poetry. I do the same thing, I observe and venerate the small.
I came across your site b/c I just joined Metaxu Cafe and did a search for other like-minded Canadians.
I am intrigued by the title of your blog.

Cheers.
