Mariner Janes was born in Victoria, British Columbia, and was raised in East Vancouver. His work has been published in West Coast LINE and in the chapbook blueprint. The Monument Cycles, his first book of poetry, was published by Talonbooks in April 2013. While studying English literature at Simon Fraser University, he co-edited iamb magazine, a venue for new and emerging writers.
