Salt & Flame

Salt & Flame is a raw, haunting, and beautifully honest poetry collection written by Wynn Wilder, inspired by rediscovered journal entries from her youth. Through fragments of memory, inner monologue, and quiet rebellion, these poems explore trauma, survival, grief, identity, and healing.

Split into six emotional phases-from drowning to transformation-Wilder leads readers through the darkest corners of pain into flickers of resilience. This collection is a lifeline for anyone who has ever felt broken, alone, or silenced-and a reminder that even in ruin, there is poetry.
