A debut collection of poetic musings

In her evocative debut, Kelly Wainwright invites you into b. Wilder — a collection of poetic musings where language becomes a mirror, a map, and a release. Raw and lyrically alive, this is not a traditional book of poems, but a reflection on what it means to live vividly, vulnerably, and unapologetically.

These are unfiltered, deeply human moments — perfect for readers who crave beauty with bite, stillness with intensity, and language that dares to dig deep and stay bright.

Here are some snippets:

“A hop skippity hop with a
Big red moon, singing
Kum ba yah in a
Senseless backless dress &
Straw hat, amidst
Mist, sweat, & steam, dripping down your neck”

“Catch her like a star flung through space caught right in your hand
Burning a hole right through it
Running to the sink
Covering it in hot pink ashes whilst she still burns bright
Listening to the refrain.
Remembering. Remembering.“

“Rolling, Falling, Flailing, Flaunting.
Her hands loose with intention.
For an intermission of
6 breaths,
Then 10.”

Part poetic memoir, part modern spellbook, b. Wilder is a kaleidoscope of writing, movement, and memory — an invitation to feel more, laugh louder, and live wilder. b. Wilder is poetic musings for the wild and the wide-awake.

Told in four seasons — from Moonbeam to Sunbeam — these unconventional “poetic musings” unfold in rhythm with a life lived slightly off-script: full of color, contradiction, sweetness, grit, field notes, sea salt, mothering, madness, and clarity. Across four chapters named for the lunar seasons (Winter/New Moon, Spring/Waxing Moon, Summer/Full Moon, Fall/Waning Moon), this collection unfolds in a rhythm all its own.

It’s not a poetry book. It’s not a self-help book. It’s something else.
A homegrown, heartfelt, fiercely creative offering.
A companion for anyone craving wildness, realness, and remembering who they are.

Part love letter, part field guide, b. Wilder moves like the moon — through tenderness, mischief, and memory.

These are not just poems.
They’re soul snippets, sweaty revelations, kitchen-table confessions, bone-deep truths, micro-musings gathered like seashells or dropped like breadcrumbs.
They’re an invitation:
To remember what it means to be wild.
To be real.
To b. wilder.
