About the Author:
Steve Turtell was born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1951. He has been a baker, lighting designer, journalist, graphic artist, teacher and museum administrator.
Review:
His poems are shaped with an economy, with a supple control, that recalls the lyrics of W.B. Yeats--perfectly solid and down to earth, yet floating with a lyric ease. This is an impressive debut. --Edward Field
Steve Turtell's poems are refreshingly direct and unpretentious. I'm moved by their generous humanity, their plainspoken, hard-won truths, and the poet's deep relishing of his experiences, desired or not. His uncommon craft makes it sound almost simple. --Joan Larkin
