First Book Reading

Jun 26, 2026

My first book reading complete! It was such an incredible honor to share my words and my story with the wonderful people at Chaucer’s books in Santa Barbara. Not only have I loved that bookstore for years, but It is also placed next to other establishments that represented my past in a vibrant way. Harrys to the right, where I would often get rather sloppy off their Cadillac Margarita’s which were infamous for being very strong, then Via Maestra to the left, a place I frequented very often before I was 21 because I did not get carded there.

To be able to share my store in between these two places, as my new chapters are unfolding and as I say goodbye to my past self, closing the book on my drunken past, I could not have pictured a better place to start my book tour.

Thank you to everyone for coming.

Words and stories are so important, especially now. Self-accountability is a core value of mine, my book is a new standard for myself to own my mistakes and feel the responsibility of my words.

Let us make self-accountability be a core value for our community.

 

As I prepare for my future events in Chicago, I will keep these intentions close by.

Thank you again for all the love and support, and please remember clarity can arise from chaos.

Hi, I'm Hannah Turner

I have been in recovery from alcohol for over two and a half years. My journey toward sobriety began while I was studying at university in Paris—a pivotal chapter of my life both personally and creatively. It was during this time, while working on my thesis, that I began writing The Clarity of Chaos, a poetry collection born from the emotional turbulence of early recovery.

Overwhelmed by the urge to drink, I turned to writing as a form of expression and healing.
