O knihe

Turkington's poetry moves from profound to epic to the amusingly contrived. His rhythms and alliteration truly transport the reading.

Turkington's poetry often crystallizes in verbal music.

Mirrored strings together vibrant

A carved bridge with his own label

And sound post placed, uniquely able

A noble scroll's heroic sculpture

Preserved for centuries of music culture

Although luthier is now at rest and gone

His violins are played, his music still sings on
