Where the Wildflowers Sleep is a collection of poems that captures raw moments in the wake of infertility and infant loss. The poems walk along the non-linear path of grief, exploring how loss affects how we relate to others, to the world around us, and to ourselves. Ranging from self-reflective to unapologetically bitter, the work does not seek resolution or understanding but rather invites the reader to simply sit alongside the bereaved

Breanna Discar lives in Colorado with her husband Justin, her dog Sebastian, and the memory of the daughter she lost on June 30, 2023.
She studied neuroscience at the University of California, San Diego and now works as a chemist. Writing was a response to the intensity of grief; this is her first book of poetry.
