“In the natural world, there is no true black flower– most are very dark shades of purple or red. Though, the black flower serves as the holy grail to flower breeders–a symbol of mystery, romance, and success. It hints not towards the finite, narrow, and understood, but to the extravagant and liminal space just beyond.”
Our Mission and vision
We are a fiercely independent publisher that creates limited edition literature, photography, and art books about belonging, intimacy, ecology, myth, and home. We are distinguished by our attention to making gorgeous books and our tending of real relationship with our authors and artists.
Born by two men from Ohio with a yearning to stay connected to each other and what is important, our work and mission is rooted in our relationship with our artists. From here we believe embodied and inspired art is made. We commit to meeting you where you are: on the earth, buried in the soil, budding with hope, covered in dew, bursting with light. We want to dream together- hand in hand- so that we may cultivate a community of ripening individuals, build a spirit of reciprocity, and share work in a meaningful and tangible way.
What we Publish
Limited Edition, Intentional, Gorgeous Books
Group Volumes
Once a year we release an open call to our community around a curated topic. This coalesces in a physical collaborative zine exploring the theme.
Literary Works
We appreciate intimate and spirit-moving literature. Whether it be poetry, short story, or memoir, we want to be present for the unfolding.
PHOTOgraphy Monographs
A book exhibition of an artist’s work around a specific theme, idea, or concept. We help to curate, build, print, & distribute an artist’s books.
