About this ebook

From @wilderpoetry comes a heavily expanded revised edition of Nocturnal, a collection of poetry and beautifully illustrated black-and-white imagery inspired by darkened days and sleepless nights.

Poetry meets presentation in each of the four sections ("Dusk," "Northern Lights," "Howl," "Lucid Dreams,"), which trace the author's continuing journey of self-discovery while illuminating a path for others along the way. Ink stains, landscapes, dreamlike animals, blackened pages, and textured spreads create a multifaceted reading experience. And true to the moniker, these poems are linked by a motif of "the wild."

Celebrating the art of self-love poetry with both word and image, Nocturnal will leave readers comforted, curious, and inspired to explore the world around them.

Nocturnal - Wilder Poetry

also by wilder

wild is she

i am an open window.

tangled sheets at 1am.

i count stars instead of sheep

and dream with my eyes open.

it’s how i know that i’ll always

remember them.

i talk to the moon and she listens—

a little louder than anyone else has.

and in those moments when my

voice only knows how to be silent,

i write her letters while the rest of

the world is sleeping.

i hope she finds them

one day.

LUCID

DREAMS

i climb mountains to see the world

wear different shades of honesty.

and isn’t it beautiful

the way we see things change?

the way our eyes fall in love

with a different time of day

knowing that it will never hurt

when tomorrow comes.

my eyes will remember

how to love the world

under changing skies.

when the light changes,

so does the view.

just as the sun met the horizon,

i came into this world

with eyelids that looked like

a bruise-coloured sky.

my skin knew the taste of salt

before i could meet the ocean,

but as my gentle screams filled the room

to let you know that i could breathe,

i learned what it felt like

to be saved while drowning.

i’ve always been told that

i was born chasing
