Swerve

by Sheri-D Wilson

A collection of poems and performance pieces, Wilson unveils a new feminine/feminist panorama of erotica, a subject area reclaimed from the realm of male writers. Swerve is a smart, pulsating, and very funny collection by this post-hippie, pre-Generation X Mama of Dada--a poet for the 21st century.

Swerving of the Arts

Out of all of Sheri-D Wilson's four published books of poetry, my most loved is her second, Swerve. This work is purely transendental. It merges both her brilliant talent for rhythmical poetry , alive with action and sparks, and her obvious internal knowledge of the stage. The continual metaphors of this book show a dedication to the oral tradition in poetry, taking the reader inward in a burst of colorful motion, then spewing out the dynamics in gesticulation of the written word. Minds who claim that poetry is purely for academic stiffs, prepare to be taken where the lyrical sounds of a modern day female writer will take you, --the stillness in between pulse beats is only a momentary illusion--but swift enough to make the open minded among us dance with the power of poetry. Recommended to those looking to explore both poetry, and acting.
