Slices of Life Experience

If you have ever felt too much and said too little, start here. Slices of Life Experience is the easiest way into the work, and a greatest-hits collection for anyone already inside it. This mosaic brings together 42 poems from across Shaun J Apple's catalog. Trauma, love, loneliness, humor, and the stubborn act of staying alive are sequenced to read straight through or open at random. Every poem earned its place by refusing to be cut.
It is an ideal first book from a poet who has spent 25 years and roughly 100 countries learning to say exactly what he means. It works like a mixtape a friend made you: no filler, every track chosen because it does.
