About Paul Turner

I've been writing poems since the mid-1990s, starting with three-liners. I headed the Newton Free Library Poetry Workshop (MA), and have twice been a featured poet in the Agapé Poetry Series in Boston.

In 2005, I was accepted as a member of Poets & Writers, a national non-profit organization whose mission is to "foster the professional development of poets and writers, to promote communication throughout the U.S. literary community, and to help create an environment in which literature can be appreciated by the widest possible public." (reference: http://www.pw.org/about/mission.html)

In 2006, I was accepted as a writer member in The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP).
