Mark R. Turner’s poems grow out of his contemplative discipline as he distills spiritual insights and observations of the world into language that ushers us into our own contemplation. He also matches many of his poems with visuals which enhance the contemplation. Selected poetry and visuals are gradually being posted here with links to make them searchable.

You can download your personal copies of the poems and images at Mark’s Patreon Shop.
On the first 17 poems we placed the statement that you would be able to download them free when you signed up as a paying Patron. After the 17th poem the Patreon platform changed its options and made it no longer possible to fulfill that promise. We are sorry to loose our ability to reward paying Patrons in that way. But read the original benefits of the six levels of patronage and we hope you will feel amply rewarded anyway. It is still a good way to support Horizon Gate by signing up as a paying Patron on Patreon.com/Markart.
