BRIAN TURNER
Brian Turner is a New Zealand poet, my two favorite poems he wrote are: The river in you and Trout.
Brian was born on the 7 of May 1964.Brian Turner was a sporty man who played Hockey and Cricket he also lived in a small town with about 30-40 people.
He was born in New Zealand in Dunedin but is British, now he works in a south African wine bar and restaurant called Vivat Bacchus
River you ←THE RIVER IN YOU LINK
trout ←TROUT LINK
I like his poems because of the way he has the rhythm when he speaks. It’s slow but fast, I specifically like the part when he says:
for it’s never the same
yet it’s always something like
what you think you remember
from the time before.
I also really enjoyed the part in trou when he says:
you can hardly see him
for nature’s camouflage: trout
magnificent trout darkly
speckled, toffee brown.
I like the way he uses adjectives in his poems, his voice is confident and calm which I enjoy.
