Taking Off

Turner, Brian

Brian Turner's first book of poems won the Commonwealth Poetry Prize, and was followed by five more acclaimed collections. Taking Off is his first new collection in a decade, and it shows him in characteristically fine voice. "Beneath the wit, the no-nonsense honesty, the rigorous clarity of sense and the sinewy rhythmic energy of the poems' surfaces runs the craft of a sophisticated, confident and well-read poet" - Oxford Companion to New Zealand Literature.
