Summary

The Skrews 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 004 (Sultry Apprehensions, 2022), is a collection of forty-nine poems from various amateur poets across the globe. With the global economic fallout from varying events over the last few years, 2022 has been a particularly difficult year for many of us. In respect, these poets have written a wide encompassment of poetry that highlights the subjects of isolation, grief, mental angst, displacement, and much more.
Available since: 10/10/2022.
Print length: 128 pages.

    Ashley is sixteen. She's lived in Medway for fifteen years and six months. She has 2,354 leaflets on sexual health. She knows exactly how many she has, because she's counted them 1,582 times…
    At 7.48 p.m. tonight, she will have been going out with Ollie for exactly three months, which he thinks means it's time to take their relationship to the next level; especially given her position as their school's resident expert on sexual health. But what if counting leaflets can't protect Ashley from getting hurt when she decides to take her biggest risk yet?
    Natalie Mitchell's play Germ Free Adolescent is a fierce, funny and irreverent OCD love story that asks: what exactly is 'normal' anyway? It received its first full production at The Bunker, London, in October 2019, having previously toured Kent where the play was researched and developed with young people, youth workers and mental-health services.

    Poems for Honeymooners - Love...

    Honeymoons are a relatively modern concept in the western world, dating from the 19th Century and have since become a multi-billion dollar industry turning the beginning of wedded bliss into a smorgsboard of ‘must have this’ and ‘must do that’.   
     
    However, celebrating a marriage is something we perhaps all feel should be a more intimate occasion.  After all this part of the journey is possibly unique as well as universal and timeless.  Sex, possibly for the first time, is now an expression of the wedded state, cementing and reframing the relationship as a new couple.   
     
    Within the lines of this volume are perfect poems for those on such a journey, whether it a romantic holiday setting or relaxed at home as our classic poets revel in the sensual, the sexy and above all the love for that very special chosen person in our lives.   Our verse includes those from Shakespeare, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Rossetti, W B Yeats, Khalil Gibran, Ella Wheeler Wilcox and many more.

    The Fourth of July – A Holiday in Verse. On 29th November 1775 Thomas Jefferson said “Believe me, dear Sir, there is not, in the British Empire, a man who more cordially loves a union with Great Britain than I do. But, by the God that made me, I will cease to exist, before I yield to such a connection on such terms as the British Parliament propose, and in this I think I speak the sentiments of America”. The War for Independence had already started some months previously and with no prospect of a reconciliation it was on the 4th of July 1776 that the Declaration of Independence was announced by the Continental Congress and that the thirteen colonies no longer considered themselves part of the British Empire and were now an Independent Nation – The United States of America. Their proclamation of independence set human history on a new path. “We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal. That they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights that amongst these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Here our poets reflect on why this day is so proudly celebrated each and every year.
