Jane AyresPraise for the Author "Edible slivers into our relationships with food, masterfully evoking memories and challenging expectations of society and humanity. This collection explores life in a distinctive, striking tone, utilising a myriad of vivid abstact pieces and free-falling prose, boldly delving into themes of childhood, hysterectomy, mental health, hope, loss and otherness."- Louise Mather: author of The Dredging of Rituals (Alien Buddha Press, 2021) and founding editor of Acropolis Journal. "Jane Ayres's work is an intimate conversation with the body in all its gruesome glory, and connections with the act of eating. I love the interjections of inner thoughts, asides, absurdity and playfulness amidst the stark realities of pain, truth and recovery. Ayres presents tender poems with a sharp edge which might leave you bleeding, but you'll feel more human as a result." - Nikki Dudley: novelist, poet, streetcake editor, facilitator. "This captivating collection is a breath of fresh air. Jane guides you on an incredibly powerful journey with innovative writing so raw and real you feel like you can reach out and touch it. Everything you could hope for within a poetry book, edible will forever have a place on my bookshelf." - Leia Butler: poet and head editor of Full House.
