A Letter From Trinity University Press
As we get closer to the end of the year and the press’s closure, we find ourselves reflecting on nearly six decades of publishing, events, author partnerships, and much more.
We want to take a moment to thank our readers for the years of love and support you have shown our authors, books, and staff. Each event you attended and every book you purchased and read helped build a community around books, ideas, and stories worth telling.
We also extend our gratitude to Trinity University’s leadership for their guidance through this transition and their support of the press staff. The venerated magazine Texas Monthly is relaunching its Texas Monthly Press book imprint and have brought members of our team on board in similar roles.
We hope you’ll continue to support our authors and the books they've given the world. And most important, we hope you’ll continue reading!
With gratitude,
Trinity University Press staff

The Carework Project: Reckoning with Love, Labor, and the Living World
by Jennifer Case
Part memoir and part cultural reflection, The Carework Project combines intimate storytelling with research, interviews, and visual art to explore what care means in a time of climate crisis.
Jennifer Case shows how caregiving, often invisible, gendered, or undervalued, is central to our survival. She examines how trauma and burnout affect our ability to connect and how healing can start with the smallest gestures of attention. The book invites readers to envision a world where care is not a burden but a source of mutual renewal and belonging. Visually striking collage postcards enhance the text. The result is a hybrid work that feels both timely and timeless, honoring the messy, creative, and transformative act of caring for one another and the living world.
Texas Trails and Glass Pyramids: Creating the San Antonio Botanical Garden
by Lewis F. Fisher
This history of the San Antonio Botanical Garden and its ambitious design, native plants, and enduring civic commitment traces the vision and bold choices behind its transformation.
For nearly a century, San Antonio dreamed of a botanical garden. Ideas surfaced, sites were debated, and plans repeatedly fell away. Texas Trails and Glass Pyramids tells the compelling and often surprising story of how that long-deferred vision finally took root and how a neglected ridge shaped by reservoirs, park fragments, and municipal afterthoughts became the San Antonio Botanical Garden, now recognized as one of the nation’s leading regional gardens.
