Turnbull was born in Edinburgh and grew up in the North of England and in Canada . He studied Natural Science at Cambridge University and graduated in Medicine from the University Of Pennsylvania in 1951. In 1957, Turnbull started Migrant Press, one of the first British-run presses to focus on poets in the '' (1999) and '' Anthology Of Twentieth-Century British And Irish Poetry '' (2001). He returned to Edinburgh in the early 1990s. In this city, he worked on what he termed kinetic poems; texts for installation in which the movement of the reader and/or of the text became part of the reading experience. He died on a visit to Herefordshire of a sudden brain haemorrhage. SELECTED BIBLIOGRAPHY
