In this intensely personal collection, On explores loss, separation and renewal, online dating, sex, longing, rejection and desire. Though they are personal and confessional, taken from the author’s own life, these poems speak to anyone who’s ever loved and lost.

Filled with short sharp burst of emotion, this stunning debut seeks to untangle the messiness of human relationships.

‘An accomplished poetic debut about how we love each other, and what happens when we lose each other, Turbulence is lump-in-the-throat nostalgic, stunningly lyrical, and skilfully sharp. Thuy On wields words with exquisite restraint.’ - Maxine Beneba Clarke
