I was born in 1942, just a little more than eight months after Pearl Harbor was bombed. I am a working man, but also a writer. Author of "APPLES AND GARLIC,The Poems of Charles Mitchell Turner," "EBENEZER'S GHOST", and "The Complete Short Works of Charles Mitchell Turner." They may be searched out on Amazon.com
I write under the name of Charles Mitchell Turner, because there are thousands of Charles Turners out there, not so many with my middle name.
I am a Texan, born to migrant workers. Raised up in California, we constantly were on the go, even after my mother married a man who cooked in restaurants. Quit school at age 16 to help support my family.
During my service in the Navy, acquired a GED, did a few college courses. I enrolled in a junior college, in 1965, but got caught up in the times and failed to attend. Participated in civil rights demonstrations and anti war protests, most notably, The Mothers March on Washington, of 1968.
I am in my second marriage, have raised four children, and have nine grandchildren. Then, there is Punky, my dog. I still work my maintenance man job, at the age of 67; semi retired.
Married 30 years.
I have collected recorded music since 1958. I adore Harry Belafonte, Bob Dylan, Bobby Darin, Leonard Cohen, Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis Presley, Clyde McPhatter, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Judy Collins, The Beatles, Phil Ochs, Joan Baez, Hoagy Carmichael, Spike Jones, Buddy Holly, Hank Williams, The Maddox Brothers and Rose, Red Blanchard and so many more.
My favorite writings are A Christmas Carol; Marat/Sade; Opus 21 by Philip Wylie; An Essay on Morals by Philip Wylie; The Tropics Trilogy by Henry Miller; Desolation Angels by Jack Kerouac; Ulysses; Faust part one; Dr. Faustus by Marlowe; Zen Flesh, Zen Bones; Walden and Civil Disobedience.
