Free Haiku in Portland!
The Portland Haiku Dispensary is a Little Free Library-like repository specializing in haiku.
Besides offering books to keep, it also prints cards with some favorite poems, which link to more information about the author and publication. They will print more, and change the selection, as they’re taken. Interested folks are invited to help themselves!
The PHD officially launched on Leap Day, 29 February 2024. On that same day, most of their inventory was stolen, but they are undeterred, and hope to restock soon.
Their mission is simply to help spread the love for haiku and add some joy to Portland’s sidewalks. They invite you to “come by any time!”

Thanks so much.
I’d be happy to send my book of haiku to the 45th Ave address in
Portland. Do I address the package to you, Richard?
Hey, my book Grinding my ink is there! I will drop by more haiku books from my collection.
Exemplary initiative, despite the theft.
Congratulations to the organizers!
I’d be happy to send them a book if they post me an address.
Wish I lived closer! I’d check it out. :)
