The works of Sheri Sherman
Recent Published Works
questions
questions include poems that bring a focused attention on everyday events and places to find the extraordinary in the ordinary. These poems are meditations on memories, nature, or a spot in time that crystalize how we live: moment to moment, within a specific landscape and through individual experience. The use of little to no punctuation is to illustrate the continuity, interrelatedness, and near simultaneous nature of how we experience space, time, and thought. Within each of these poems there is an inherent question, sometimes obvious, sometimes implied, that does not beg an answer, only further inquiry.
