Poet, Educator, Instigator

Language is the essence of being human
Poetry is the essence of language
And Sheri-D Wilson is the essence of essence

Fasten your seat belts, ladies and gentlemen: here’s action poet Sheri-D Wilson dancing her way onto the page with rawness and rage.

The Oneironaut rolls along with the fragmented, manic energy of a light show-cum-spoken word performance, full of exotic textual arrangements and capitalized sound effects. And it's all put to great use...

We are drawn into a world with an unnavigable distance between where we are and where we want to be. Yet, with Wilson’s skillful guidance, the narrative wormhole proves easy to chart.

Sheri-D Wilson turns language on its head, exuberantly coining new words that seem absolutely necessary-like arborolatry (a great word for idolizing trees). Her mastery of sound is hypnotic.

Gordon Lightfoot, Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen . . . genetically tinker with these Canadians and add a chromosome of Patti Smith and a double-helix strand from Jim Carroll. . . you have Sheri-D Wilson.
