Wildlight

three years of blood, sweat, fire, heart, and LIVING have gone into this book- plunging into the wildernesses of love, spirituality, addiction, sex, shamanism, mental health struggles, self-love, and rebirth. queens, NYC native poet AUDREY DIMOLA keeps the fires lit with her third collection of poetry and prose, WILDLIGHT.

to all those who reclaim their spirits from darkness-
who resolve to protect the body as an altar, and keep the fire safe-
know there is an energy of resilience that unites us all.
we may have to fight everyday- but we never fight alone.


this is a book about reclamation.
it is a book about struggles with honesty, with identity. about all-consuming loves- passion, destruction, regeneration. about leaving and returning. about lack of self-love and self-worth. about mental illness and addictions. about the indomitable power of the human spirit. about reasons to live. about what happens when you break away from the life you thought you wanted- to walk into the wild. to be taught in ways only the universe can truly teach you- with blood, with sweat. with grief, and wonder. with fire. with heart.
it is a book about trying and trying and trying again...

crack the spine of this book and the author will know it. this is an alchemical document- rubbed with earth, singed with flame. found curled inside the inmost core of an animal, fanged and feathered. each word a bone picked from an endless desert, blessed with tears and triumph from the road. WILDLIGHT was written from 2015 to 2018 by a shamanic poet and journeywoman who is most often likened to wildfire or supernova- this third collection of poetry and prose an act of sacred invocation that will keep howling at you even when its pages are closed.
