This book is very much the product of its time. Richard Brautigan wrote this small book of poetry in 1968, had the poems printed onto eight seed packets, and then gave them away for free. It was a time of strong ideals. There are eight poems, my favorite of which is
"Squash"
The time is right to mix sentences
sentences with dirt and the sun
with punctuation and the rain with
verbs, and for worms to pass
through question marks, and the
stars to shine down on budding
nouns, and the dew to form on
paragraphs.
I don't usually like poetry but maybe because it's about words themselves that I find this so beautiful. Needless to say, it's hard to find a copy of this "book", but anyone interested can find the text in full on pleaseplantthisbook.com.
