Between Lovers

by Sheri-D Wilson

Sheri-D Wilson, whose unparalleled 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 an empowering, sensual place where one can discover what it means to be a woman in the 21st 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. Praise for Between Lovers : "Sheri-D’s poems give the tone-deaf world tone; they take the clumsy world and make it dance."—Andrei Codrescu "Passionate, gutsy, wise, these personal addresses and observations move out in a range of populist Voice. A lively and affecting collection."—Anne Waldman Sheri-D Wilson is a poet, playwright, performer and teacher who has been called one of North America’s most compelling "action" poets. She divides her time between Calgary and Vancouver, and recently represented Canada at the World Poetry Circus at Taos, New Mexico.

The poems I like the most in this collection were those that talked about Alberta - although the poems in this collection did not connect for me those few made me curious enough to read some other collections of the poet.
