""Afterglow is a poetic eruption of cosmic salvation. Each poem is a sacred coordinate along a stardust pathway toward heroic healing. Wynter's poetry propels us along the revolutionary voyage of reclaiming the self no matter the scars that have shaped us. Afterglow is a poetry collection that does not hold back. Instead, Wynter rallies us to rise up and stand firm in our divine magic, where our courageous faith in self radiates the most beautiful essence of who we were meant to be."" - Alex Petunia, author of Tending My Wild ""Wynter Eddins speaks the truth. She takes the reader into a journey of pain and dysfunction. She paints the picture of children holding onto secrets as adults continue to lie and betray their innocence. The beauty of Wynter's work is she does not leave the reader in the pain, she gives this little girl a voice, and one day she gains the strength to stand tall and speak. She then advocates for others and no longer stays quiet. In this work, Wynter gives voice to those who are too afraid to speak. This book is for every woman, every man, and every child who was robbed of their childhood through family trauma. She gives hope that the hurt can no longer define us, and with healing we can rise and give the gift of empowerment to others through our example."" - Erica Castro, author, speaker, life coach, educator ""Afterglow is a transformative voyage of the heart set against an expansive galactic backdrop. Wynter's words beautifully navigate the journey of a heart that bleeds, scars, and finally emerges, mended and open to 'wishes' once more. This work gives a voice to the silent stories of Black women who have endured the harrowing experiences of sexual trauma and domestic violence. As I embarked on Wynter's journey, I felt seen, heard, ready to face my trauma, and take on the stars."" - Tyler Lenn Bradley, motivational poet
