The Skrews Poetry Syndication is an independent literary publication that is dedicated to the darker, pain-filled words of poets who've experienced severe adversity, trauma, and tribulation in their lives. While the element of suffering is often held in high esteem in the poetry community, most poets who haven't already created a name go unheard. This publication is here to change this. We are by those, for those, and celebrated by those who are in this very real state of chaos.

Issue 005 (Macabre Minutiate, 2023), is a collection of forty-four poems from a selection of amateur poets across the globe. 2023 brought war, economic fluctuations, and often societal divisions. With regard to this, these poets have written a wide encompassment of poetry that highlights subjects such as isolation, grief, past trauma, mental angst, displacement, and much much more.
