A collection of essays, poems, and stories from a soup kitchen writers’ workshop
The selections are funny, gritty and brutally honest, writing that attests to a raw spirituality formed and informed by life on the street. When these writers are given prompts like 'It Was the Best Day, ’ 'So I Lied, ’ 'September Eleven, ’ 'My Best Mistake’ or 'In My Other Life, ’ they hold nothing back. In his piece on 'Recovering, ’ Mackey reflects on how the writers’ workshop has changed his life, he is now a licensed minister completing a book and a one-act play. Sometimes sweet and sometimes bitter, this collection is a nutritious 'slice of life’ from a writers’ workshop that’s truly in the soul-food business.
