Brian Turner is one of sixty authors who attended The Press Christchurch Writers Festival from 4 to 7 September 2008.

Whether it’s taking on the big guns over the proposed Maniototo wind farm, or ruminating on the ethics of angling and hunting, passionate conservationist, professional caddy, cyclist, journalist, beloved poet and ardent southerner Brian Turner has always gone in to bat for the environment.

Turner's latest anthology, Into the wider world: a back country miscellany, gathers together some of the best of Brian’s essays, columns, articles and poetry, many of which focus on the wild places and outdoor pursuits he loves, and of which he is such an unabashed, articulate and tireless champion.
