Salt and Flickers is an art-forward coffee table book, but more like a sacred object, a devotional artifact to motion, madness, and meaning because life is, too, when you let it be.

Born on the cracked streets of Los Angeles and stitched together through the long strides and longings from running in and around the world, this large-format work - featuring a foreword by Travis Barker - fuses original illustrations, essays, meditations, icon portraits, and open-ended prose on what it means to move through this world with purpose and pain, a little grit and a little grace.

Created by writer and Silver Lake Track Club founder Howie Goldklang, and artist-provocateur Eric Junker, Salt and Flickers is a living portrait of a culture in motion. This book is for the seekers: the ones who run, create, move, and meditate to understand themselves. The ones who believe running can be art, and art can be salvation. It is for the ones who lost something and decided to go find it through the forced meditation of movement. With Eric's visceral imagery and Howie's raw reflections, Salt and Flickers doesn't just tell a story--it cracks you open and reminds you: the path forward is also the path inward.

Whether you're an artist, an athlete, or dreamer -- this is your invitation to let go and begin again and again.

About Howie Goldklang

Howie Goldklang co-founded the Silver Lake Track Club, a Los Angeles running nonprofit, in 2016, and serves as its head coach; Kirkus describes him as a recreational runner and former track competitor. Salt and Flickers is his first book, a large-format volume fusing illustrations, essays, meditations and verse on movement and meaning, with a foreword by Travis Barker and artwork by Eric Junker. Ideapress, a hybrid press whose authors pay toward publication, issued it in December 2025. Retailers shelve it under art and body-mind-spirit rather than poetry, though Kirkus records both verse and prose inside, and an account of the author's recovery from childhood trauma.
