Skylar J Wynter, is the best-selling author of poetry and flash fiction collection, Pieces of Humanity, released in October 2020 to align with National Mental Health Month and more recently an art and poetry collection entitled, SHINE, created in collaboration with Neshka Turner. After an incident in 2014 that changed her life's trajectory, Wynter turned to various art forms to process the trauma and make sense of her new self. She shares her poetry hoping it will help others find peace within their own realities and encourage humanity to reach out to each other with decency. Skylar resides in the Perth Hills of Western Australia, where she pens her creations overlooking national parkland and when she is not writing, or working, she loves to dance for hours losing herself in the jungle rhythms of DnB. She also loves a great book, a sunny day and witnessing humans behaving decently. Skylar hates injustice and hopes that if we must be forced to eat genetically modified food, someone will find a way to make celery taste like cheesecake.
