Writing with diverse poetic forms and using original artwork to deepen the exploration of conflict, Jo Patti presents us with a dynamic and edgy second book of poetry. Not for the faint hearted.

The poems in Leaked Footages carry urgent subjects, ranging from death to disappearance to grief to memory.

Par un minuit lugubre, un esprit las veille sur d’anciens volumes quand un léger heurt à la porte trouble le silence. Bientôt, un corbeau ténébreux s’installe et, avec un refrain implacable, pousse le narrateur au bord de l’obsession. Chambre close, décembre âpre, souvenirs d’un amour perdu: tout conspire à faire monter la fièvre du doute et du deuil. Chef-d’œuvre de l’imaginaire romantique, ce poème allie cadence hypnotique et atmosphère funèbre.

Although grief is at the forefront of these poems, The Wild Delight of Wild Things is a simple love letter to Turner's late wife, poet Ilyse Kusnetz (1966-2016). The poems are also a love letter to our planet during the ongoing sixth mass extinction. Intertwining this immense grief, Turner explores the hybrid borderlands of genre, and the meditations on love and loss blur the boundaries between poetry and lyric prose. In Italian, the word "stanza" is rooted in the word "room."

On and off through my life, poetry has been a refuge, allowing me to convey my moods, thoughts, emotions, and beliefs. This collection reflects the sum of my experiences—sometimes light and joyful, other times inspired by life's challenges, such as loss. I hope these poems resonate with you and offer both comfort and inspiration. Thank you for taking the time to explore my journey through words.
