Title: 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>
