Richard Marggraf Turley (born 2 August 1970) is a British poet and literary critic.
His first collection of poetry The Fossil Box was published by Cinnamon Press in 2007. Robert Minhinnick, editor of Poetry Wales, praised its 'rare and intense musicality'. The poems are concerned with the urgency of place and origins. He is also co-author, with Damian Walford Davies, of Whiteout (Parthian, 2006).
In 2007 Marggraf Turley won first prize in the tenth-anniversary Keats-Shelley Prize for Poetry. His poem, 'Elisions', was written on the competition theme of slavery. He has twice appeared on Radio 3's poetry programme, 'The Verb', presented by Ian McMillan.
Marggraf Turley works in the English faculty at Aberystwyth University. In addition to poetry, he has written a number of books on Keats and the Romantic poets, including Keats's Boyish Imagination, which was widely praised, but caused some controversy in the Times Literary Supplement. He is co-founder and Co-Director of the Centre for Romantic Studies, Aberystwyth, the first of its kind in Wales.
He lives near Aberystwyth on the Ceredigion coast. He is also a blues musician.
