Hi, I'm Hannah Turner

Founder of The Clarity of Chaos

This is my Story

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. Through poetry, I found a way to process pain, reclaim my voice, and share my truth. The Clarity of Chaos is not just a book—it’s a reflection of my journey and a message of hope. My goal is to inspire others who are navigating similar paths or grappling with their own struggles with substance use.

I want to help normalize conversations around addiction and recovery, and to break the silence, shame, and stigma that so often surround them.
