"As an editor, Turi's attention to poetics and use of literary devices allows her to leave every piece of work she touches with a polished, seamless, and gut-wrenching finish. In her own poetry, Turi is an expert at saying everything without saying too much and applies this same technique in the literary works she edits.

Turi is attentive always, not only to the face-value structure and language of the poem itself, but always first and foremost to the mind of the poet: she knows how to absorb everything that makes a poem the work of its poet and accommodates her feedback and editing accordingly. In her mind, she takes the shoes of the speaker and rids or changes any language or form that might prevent the poet from reaching their full potential in a poem.

Turi's bird-eye-view approach to poetry is what makes her a fantastic editor and writer; she's capable of absorbing anything presented to her and guiding it toward its true form of excellence based on her contextualization of the piece in the eyes of its writer, as opposed to the piece in the eyes of the editor. In the time we spent together as we edited one another's poetry, there never existed another individual in my mind who would read and understand my work as authentic and as clear as Turi could.

It takes an immense amount of empathy and knowledge of poets and poetry to edit the way Turi does in her holistic approach to writing. Writer first, editor second, Turi undoubtedly understands what it means to entrust someone else with the responsibility to read and edit your work, hoping that the meaning stays true to the intention. As a writer, I am very grateful to have been read, edited, and understood by her brilliant and attentive mind."
