We’ve been holding onto this gem for so long, and we can’t wait anymore to get it to you! While Ars Botanica is officially being released July 25, you can preorder from our website to ensure your copy before it hits bookshelves.
Written as letters to his unborn child, Tim Taranto’s Ars Botanica describes the infinite pleasures of falling in love — the small discoveries of each other's otherness, the crush of desire, the frightening closeness — and the terrifying impossibility of losing someone.
Publishers Weekly writes it’s "Part epistolary memoir and part emotive taxonomy of significant flora and fauna, the primary endeavor of this book, Taranto’s debut, is transformation: to wring from grief the shape and substance of art."
