POET, RESEARCHER
Madeline Augusta Turner is from rural Ohio and is currently pursuing a PhD in anthropology at Stanford University. Her writing, research, and work are centered around soil and hope.
I have attended the Kenyon Writer's Workshop and received a Brooklyn Poets Fellowship. In 2022, my work was long-listed for Palette Poetry's Sappho Prize for Women Poets. At Smith College, I was awarded the Elizabeth Babcock Poetry Prize for the best poem by an undergraduate, the Gertrude Posner Spencer Prize for excellence in creative nonfiction, and the Samuel Bowles Prize for a distinguished paper in anthropology.
