I think Mary Oliver’s words capture the spirit of the Slice of Life community. Slicing invites me to pay attention to interactions and events in order to capture my own astonishment.
Everyone is welcome in this writing community. Write a slice, share it in the comments, and then give encouragement, support, and commenting love to other slicers.

With the start of the new school year, I share a draft copy of my Exquisite Corpse poem based on a mentor text from the Poetry Sisters’ August writing challenge. Perhaps, some teachers would like to introduce this poem format to their young writers as a collaborative process.
