[Dana] Gioia said of Turner, who is now touring the world on a yearlong "Traveling Poetry Scholarship."

"He's an example of the different kind of soldier you see in today's military compared to past wars. Through their writing you get a real sense of the level of intelligence, experience and education that today's military is made up of."
