Turkington's poetry moves from profound to epic to the amusingly contrived. His rhythms and alliteration truly transport the reading.
- Richard Wilbur
Turkington's poetry often crystallizes in verbal music.
-Paul Paige, Professor Emeritus of Music, Grand Canyon University
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
The awardee of the American Medal of Honor, the World Freedom Medal, International Man of the Year 2002, and the Distinguished Service Cross, author Roger Wayne Turkington shares with us his eclectic collection of poetry.
