The Garden at Midnight

by Maya Thompson

2023

Ten stories set in gardens, greenhouses, and wild places where human nature and the natural world intertwine. Thompson writes with a botanist's precision and a poet's sensitivity about the ways we grow, bloom, and sometimes must be pruned.

"The garden at midnight was a different country, one where the rules of daylight did not apply and the flowers opened toward the moon like mouths about to speak."
