Skinner Matthews

Skinner Matthews lives and writes in Bluffton, South Carolina. He hopes his poetry brings light to the dark places existing like landmines in the streets, neighborhoods, and family households of the working class and poverty-stricken.

He has been published in Amethyst Review, As Surely as the Sun Journal, Autumn Sky Poetry, Ekstasis Magazine, Livina Press, Rising Phoenix Review, and Susurrus.  Future publications in Stray Branch Literary Journal and Sea Change Anthology [8th Edition]. Skinner recommends St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

"Haiku String," "A Human Sonnet," and "Poverty Stricken"
