Broken Turtle Books LLC is a publisher of
contemporary and historical works by Delaware Valley authors.
The company was formed by a group of writer/editor/publishers
who have been part of the Delaware literary scene for four decades. Most
of us have been associated with Dreamstreets Press, which
published Dreamstreets Magazine, produced radio programs on WVUD
91.3 FM (University of Delaware), a television clip on WHYY TV
(Wilmington/Philadelphia), and founded the Second Saturday
Poetry
Readings at various venues in Wilmington, Delaware.
The Turtle
is the totem of the Leni Lenapi indigenous culture, native to
the Delaware Valley before their virtual extermination. North
America is often referred to as Turtle Island by Native
Americans generally. In some Asian cultures, the turtle's
shell represents heaven and earth bound together. Whether it is Delaware, North America, Earth, or Heaven, our world is broken.
Broken Turtle Books aims to reclaim the world that should have
been.
Our board comprises
Steven Leech (President),
Phillip
Bannowsky, Franetta McMillian, and Douglas Morea.
Broken Turtle Books
is not accepting submissions at this time, but we welcome
inquiries.
