Book of Sensations: 1 (Brave & Brilliant) - Softcover
This book embodies an intricate ecosystem of language and feeling. These poems reach their roots down into the depths of what it means to be -- to connect to one another, and to connect to the earth. With fine-tuned vocabulary, far-reaching observation, and the dream-vision of the surrealist eye, Sheri-D delves into the personal and the universal, the everyday and the mythical. This book is full of poignant sensations and astonishing realisations. This is a book of life and experience. Put it in your pocket and immerse yourself in a world of sensations.

Review:
About the Author:
Sheri-D Wilson's The Book of Sensations is as much, or moreso, about language as it is about Sensations . . . In many of the pieces, it's difficult not to give an oral rendering, and I found myself getting caught in my own word play, taking her logo-vein and lengthening it, then being pulled back to her artery--an interesting combination of writer and reader's voice I have a feeling this was intentional . . . Wilson is clearly a reader who loves the taste and feel of words on her tongue as they rumble in her mouth, and bounce on the tympanum of the ear.
--Beth Everest, Freefall Magazine
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.
--Kerry Clare, 49th Shelf
Sheri-D Wilson is the award-winning author of eleven books, the creator of four short films, and has released three albums which combine music and poetry. Her collection, Re:Zoom (Frontenac House, 2005), won the 2006 Stephan G. Stephansson Award for Poetry and was shortlisted for the CanLit Award.
