Sarah Skinner is a poet and seeker who believes deeply in the power of words to cultivate courage, compassion, and connection. Born in South Carolina and shaped by places both far and near, Sarah’s voice has been nourished by the rich landscapes of diverse communities, from the bustling streets of China to the rolling green hills of Ireland. Today, Sarah has planted her roots in Appalachia, where the Blue Ridge Mountains speak to her soul. In her poetry, Sarah engages the tensions between grief and grace, inviting readers into stories of resilience, belonging, and justice. Her work embodies both prayer and protest, infused with the wisdom of spiritual seekers and social activists from varied traditions. Sarah’s poetry has become a voice in movement spaces, from local gatherings to national justice events, creating moments for dialogue and reflection. She believes the sharing of art is sacred work, a radical form of hospitality, and a pathway to a more inclusive, compassionate world. When not writing, Sarah can be found hiking in the wild Blue Ridge Mountains, tending her garden, or gathering with fellow seekers for conversations on love, spirit, and the shared journey that connects us all.
