Patricia Turnbull

Patricia G. Turnbull (born 1952) is a poet from Saint Lucia.

She has worked as a business communication consultant, a Saint Lucian Creole translator and speech coach, and an English teacher and department chair.

[1] Turnbull won the Cedars Prize for Contemporary Poetry in 1991.

[1] Man-made destruction of hillside plants – even before St Lucia was threatened by Hurricane Maria in 2017 – moved Turnbull to write a children's book, Ti Koko and Kush Kush (2018), about an unlikely friendship in a Caribbean garden.

At the book's launch, Turnbull called for more community support for literary artists.
