Singing Riptide releases Sept. 4, 2025

“There’s a crash in all of our lives, whether it is the result of bad choices or circumstances we don’t control. How we live through our hardships determines who we become. Cheryl Wilder’s Singing Riptide is a book for all who have fallen and all who have had the strength to get back up.” —Barbara Presnell, author of Otherwise, I’m Fine

“Singing Riptide is an intense book of memory and regret, but also a marvelous triumph in the fact that her poetry itself creates a way for both poet and reader of this rewarding book to discover what Ross Gay would also call ‘unabashed joy,’ and yes, redemption.” —Richard Jackson

Shame silenced me for decades. I share my journey toward self-forgiveness to inspire others to embrace their unique passions and purpose.

“Cheryl’s a quietly strong facilitator, teacher, and leader who guides, encourages, and corrects course gently, almost imperceptibly. I can’t recommend her highly enough.”
