A thoroughly modern collection of poems by Sheri-D Wilson, a dazzling spoken word performer, theMama of Dada.' 'Girl's Guide to Giving Head' collapses convention in its search for the feminine - a strong beautiful universe of dreams and mythology that takes nothing for granted. Combining humour with pathos, it is an instructional manual for life; giving 'head' is the giving of 'ideas' about sex and love and ways of living. 'This work understands the importance of giving honour to the anima, the feminine spirit, in fact the Goddess'MF'
I have enjoyed the playfulness and joy of Sheri-D Wilson for many years now. She takes poetry to a new place!
A review of the review
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
To the reader from USA, who bought this book before there were any reviews about it: You are disappointed because you bought the book based on it's title, and you are correct, as a guide to giving head, it's not very informative. As a work of art, however, it stands among the best poetry I have ever seen in the beat, jazz. surrealist genre. I wish you the best of luck finding your manual and much success in your endeavors in improving your sex life.
Taboo subject tackled tastefully (sorry the pun)

Ms. Wilson takes an often taboo subject and tackles it with professionalism and taste. She is playful is her prose, yet carries a strong, direct message which gets the point across. Skillfully mastered, she gets down to business quickly and achieves full results. She is excellent at her craft. I learned a lot.
If you only read one book this year, read this one.

Sheri-D is one of Canada's best. A Girl's Guide is one of those rare books of poetry that you will read many times. Intelligent and honest. And if you EVER get a chance to see her perform, go. You won't regret it.
