Deborah Turner

Deborah Turner comes from a long line of tall woman. Her jock poetry emerges, in part, from how coaches quickly spotted and recruited her for basketball, rowing, softball, and, track. She played the latter two in college where she stayed long enough to earn her doctorate. A librarian and educator, Deborah now writes poetry and prose full-time. Her creative works convey a sense of redemption, hope and the ability for all of us to be able to do better; a sentiment which resonates in today's topsy turvy world frequently missing a sense of optimism.

Currently, Deborah's working on her first novel, Harvesting Her Own Cranberries, and a memoir based in West Philadelphia. She blog publishes regularly at deborahturner.online.
