Nicole Jean Turner is the poet laureate of Worcester, Massachusetts, for 2026-2028; a hand-patched, sticker-smattered and snagged-lace-layered writer. She writes in cursive to hide butchered spelling that might otherwise raise suspicion about her master’s degree in writing.

“You don’t suck. You don’t anything yet. That’s the point. You might be a great writer someday. I don’t know. You haven’t even lived yet. Go to jail, you know? Become a nun. Right now you’re just a suckling, little piglet. Just go out and live.”
