Autopsy Of A Turvy World


Sheri-D Wilson offers a window into 21st century afflictions that range from noise pollution to airport security. "She gets into all sorts of issues without ever being preachy," says Rose. "It's a very intense book, and I think its her best so far."

Stephan G. Stephansson Award for Best Alberta Poetry Book

- Re:Zoom -
a book of no return.
How can we return?
We resume,
but never from where we left off.

We continue from
some other place.

This collection of poetry explores
that place.

Sheri-D Wilson, whose unparallelled writing style is rich with erotic jazz, infused with a sharp feminist sensibility, and laced with a dangerous wit, is back with Between Lovers, her fifth collection of poetry and her strongest to date.

Seamlessly matching word with sound, these poems fly off the page with lyrical beauty and a rhythmical electric charge that transports you into Sheri-D's surreal world: an empowering, sensual place where one can discover what it means to be a woman in the twenty-first century.

In this collection, Sheri-D’s language is brilliantly alive with the wit, charm, and playfulness she is known for. She reaches into the soul’s dark abyss and finds that what makes us different is what makes us the same.

Just what does it mean to be human? Sheri-D Wilson traverses the extremes of the human condition, as she examines the many entendres of what it means to be Between Lovers.

Canada's foremost action poet Sheri-D Wilson returns with The Sweet Taste of Lightning, a sublime new collection of poems that explore love and mortality with her distinct jazz-inflected sensibility. Startling and vulnerable, these are poems that speak from the heart, whether they be sassy missives from the street, or intimate confessions from one lover to another. There are also the trademark language stylings that evoke Sheri-D's powerful stage performances, full of wry, sexy truths. Lightning never tasted sweeter than in the cool poetic world of Sheri-D Wilson.

Girl's Guide to Giving Head is a rapturous collection of poems by "action poet" Sheri-D Wilson, in which she furnishes a sensual and ironic palace of sights, sounds, and pleasures.

For the past ten years, Sheri-D Wilson has established herself as a spoken-word performer of the higest order, whose compelling stage presence, often complemented by music and dance, is matched by her provocative way with words. Her work, rich with humour and pathos, delves into issues faced by strong modern women, creating a sexualized feminism that at the same time celebrates life and beauty and art.

Girl's Guide to Giving Head is an instructional manual for life: it is a book about going up not down... and "head" refers to the intellect; its "giving," the act of education: teaching and learning about sex and love and ways of living. Included in this collection are such works as "Conversations with a Jealousy Junkie," "Airplane Paula"," "MacSex," "The Grass is Always Blonder on the Other Side of the Fence," and "The Day I Married Elvis."
