About this ebook
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

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
