Turner’s debut collection of poems, Here, Bullet, details his experience fighting in Iraq, and it also covers the war from the point of view of Iraqi civilians. He is also the author of the collection Phantom Noise, published in 2010.

The event is free and open to the public. You can find several audio/print interviews and some samples of his work on his website. I’ve never seen Turner read, though I have read his first book. I look forward to this event and getting a chance to hear some poems from his second book, which focuses on what happens when the soldiers return home and how they carry war with them.
