After writing in different forms throughout the 1880s, he became one of the most popular playwrights in London in the early 1890s.

For he could think only in bronze.

Brought to you by Penguin. If you stop and look around you, you'll start to see. Tall marigolds darkening. A spring wind blowing. The woods awake with sound. On the wooden porch, your love smiling. Dew-wet red berries in a cup. On the hills, the beginnings of green, clover and grass to be...

In a small room in an Oxford college, cold and dim and full of quiet, an undergraduate student works on an essay about Shakespeare's sonnets.

Although grief is at the forefront of these poems, The Wild Delight of Wild Things is a simple love letter to Turner's late wife, poet Ilyse Kusnetz (1966-2016). The poems are also a love letter to our planet during the ongoing sixth mass extinction. Intertwining this immense grief, Turner explores the hybrid borderlands of genre, and the meditations on love and loss blur the boundaries between poetry and lyric prose. In Italian, the word "stanza" is rooted in the word "room."

We love to hate feral women. We say they’re too much of everything, not-so-subtly requesting that they minimize themselves, their voices, their existence. Rather than uplifting the characteristics that make them fierce and loyal protectors, we push them into the smallest of roles. Instead of watching in awe as they tackle the most difficult aspects of life, we ignore them. When faced with the harsh truths of their lives, we silence them. I am done being silenced. I am done being ignored. I want to live my truths.

Our quoted authority is not the people in white coats but those with a quill, a heart and a soul that can take these feelings of love and loss and with the ink of words put to verse feelings and emotions that can be re-lived and shared by all. As they venture through depression, war, slavery to heartache and the loss of loved ones our eyes may mist and tears gently fall at what collectively we have done, have experienced, have witnessed and lost.
