Please Plant This Book

Please Plant This Book is the sixth volume of poetry published by American writer Richard Brautigan. The collection consists of a glued folder containing eight seed packets, with a poem printed on the front of each. The book was Brautigan's last self-publishing venture. The edition had a run of 6,000 free copies. The entire edition was offered for free distribution; permission to reprint the collection was explicitly granted, as long as the new printing was also offered free of charge. Although a relatively large edition for an early Brautigan work, it is now considered a rarity.

The eight poem titles and associated seed packets are as follows:
 * California Native Flowers
 * Calendula
 * Carrots
 * Lettuce
 * Sweet Alyssum Royal Carpet
 * Squash
 * Shasta Daisy
 * Parsley

Dinefwr Literature Festival
This project was re-created for the Dinefwr Literature Festival, which took place in June 2012 in West Wales. The start of the festival was celebrated through events inspired by the author. In addition to reprinting the poetry folders, the public was taken on a walk through the grounds where a pomegranate tree, nicknamed "the Brautigan pomegranate", was planted. Ianthe Brautigan, Brautigan's daughter, flew in from San Francisco to join in the celebrations.
