Sheri-D Wilson
The Mama of Dada - Sheri-D Wilson (poet, playwright, performer, film-maker, essayist, teacher) has been called one of North America's most compelling action poets. Her unparalleled performance style is rich with erotic jazz, infused with a sharp feminist sensibility, and laced with a dangerous wit. A poet of the beat tradition, Sheri-D studied at Naropa, the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics in Boulder, Colorado. Sheri-D's unique poetry shatters all conventions. In 2003 she won the ‘Heavyweight of Poetry, USA’ in a Bumbershoot Bout against the incredible Andrei Codrescu. Her accomplishments are too numerous to list—suffice it to say that Sheri-D Wilson sits easily atop the list of Canada’s most prolific wordsmiths.
