Ron Turner was born in Kosciusko, Mississippi in 1948 and his father was a career Army Master Sergeant. “I went to ten schools the first nine years," he says. "But I wouldn’t trade the adventure for anything.” Ron began writing in 1990 and the next year published , "Man, God & Other Stuff." After his father died in 1996 he updated and expanded that book in "My Father, My Sons, and Me in Between." In 2015 he published "They Call Me Papa," his most recent book. "I'm not sure if what I write is poetry, or just musings and memories," Ron says. "I write what comes and then whittle it down to pack as much I can in a few words." His work has appeared in "Life's Little Treasure Book on Fathers," by H. Jackson Brown, "Southern Voices in Every Direction," edited by Margaret Britton Vaughn, Poet Laureate of Tennessee and "Reflections," the alumni journal of the Yale Divinity School. Ron holds degrees in psychology, law, theological studies, management and public administration. He retired in 2013 after a career practicing law, teaching college and serving as the Director of Religious and Volunteer Services for the Tennessee Department of Correction. From 2014 to 2019 he led presentations on inmates’ religious rights to prison officials in fourteen states and published several articles on the topic. In retirement Ron participates and leads men's groups and enjoys singing, hiking, gardening and photography. He has two sons and five grandchildren and he and his wife, Paula split their year between Tennessee and New York.
