y separately published work icon Woodsmoke Fitzroy North : Black Pepper , 2013 6484291 2013 selected work poetry

'Todd Turner writes poetry of unfashionable warmth. Woodsmoke, which is an occasional motif throughout the book, refers to the ancient resins which fire draws upon in burning. The smoke is the signal, the equivalent of the poem. His unforced measured language yields deeply moving poems–whether on the death of a brother or the loss of market gardens.' (Publication summary)
