TESTIMONIAL
What Skoyles is Saying
The speaker of these poems confides, reveals, laments and ultimately sees his experience as part of “a family of naked stars shining onto waves breaking anew.” Central to the saga is the speaker’s place among loved ones and in the world at large. The Boy Born With a Pinhole Heart tells the story of a family with intimacy and grace.
