jrturek's Profile

Name jrturek
About Me Hi! I am a poet, editor, workshop leader, and host for several poetry events on Long Island. I am the author of 7 poetry collections, most recently DogSpeak, the 24 poems from the 2022 poetry marathon and I am supporting North Shore Animal League, the world's largest no-kill animal shelter organization, with proceeds. I have written a poem-a-day for over 19 years. Writing a poem-an-hour is an amazing adventure! After all, sleep is overrated.
