Denni Turp’s debut pamphlet, joint winner in Category A of the Poetry Space Prize 2024.
If ever there was to be a song for nature, Anchored in Green by Denni Turp would be it. This pamphlet is an absolute pleasure to read, with its gentle rhymes, calm, uncluttered presentation and hypnotic invocations. The poems take one back to older magic, to times when humans understood the beating heart of the Earth. A pure, honest and heartfelt reminder to celebrate and participate in the joys and wonders of nature.
Jane Burn
Denni Turp has immersed herself in the natural world and she writes lyrically about her surroundings in Wales and the garden she’d like to make ‘where bees can hum, small-winged and furred and busy’. She is knowledgeable about the way the planet has been damaged, and her poems offer hope. Anchored in Green is a remarkable debut.
