Phantom Noise

Description:

“In <em>Phantom Noise</em>, the speaker recognizes the degree to which language is a co-creative of reality…and as such, these poems begin to interrogate the speaker’s entanglement in acts that he had heretofore largely only recorded.” —<em>The American Poetry Review</em> “[Turner’s] writing is crisp, reportorial, earnest… [He] challenges us to experience war at its worst and confront its human costs without ideology or nationalism.” ―<em>The Georgia Review</em> “In many ways, this is not a collection for the faint-hearted, dealing as it does with deaths and mutilations. However, its scope is broader than that, as it also skillfully looks at history, culture, love, and family.” ―<em>The North</em>
