Ryan Turner has always balanced conflicting desires. He followed a BSc in mathematics with an MA in English. He quit playing university hockey to join a band. He now has thoughts of owning a bookstore, running for Prime Minister, and living in cities like Copenhagen and Berlin – sometimes all three at once. His stories have most recently appeared in Prairie Fire, filling Station, and The New Quarterly and his collection What We’re Made Of will be published by Oberon Press in the fall of 2009. He lives in Halifax. You can find him at his website: www.ryannicholasturner.com.
