Description
With a sensual perspective on human nature, Delicate Availability is an evocative collection of lyrical stories and poignant poems. Adeptly balanced between fiction and poetry, a story is told, unraveling one woman's journey through cities and countries, spanning years and generations, with loved ones and lovers.
Though the theme of passions found and lost may seem universal, and the reminders of life and death rudimentary, with the use of richly textured language, natural rhythm, and deft nuance, each piece reaches into the very fabric of human desire, and it becomes clear the Delicate Availability of us all.

Jane Mellor was born and raised in San Francisco during the counterculture generation, and at the age of nineteen, moved to Canada and settled in the backwoods of rural British Columbia. When she wasn't splitting firewood, canning preserves on her wood stove, or warding off bears, Jane was writing childrens books. After she and her three offspring moved to Vancouver, Jane worked as a creative set-stylist and writer for lifestyle and travel magazines, and traveled extensively.
Her literary work has been published in Quills Canadian Poetry Magazine, The Toronto Quarterly, TWS website, emerge Anthology, Leaf Press, Contemporary Horizons Magazine, and Contemporary Horizons Anthology. A graduate from Simon Fraser University's The Writer's Studio, Jane now lives in Sausalito, California, where she enjoys the lack of rain, and continues to write like a mad woman. This is her first book of poetry.
