Winter of My Life

By Sherri Wright

Sherri Wright's collection, Winter of My Life, is infused with the "swift glide" of memories, from "biology lessons in the front seat of your souped-up Studebaker" to "with my little mini, I will shimmy." Surprising topics include working in a soup kitchen, reflections on environmental losses, and her deep sense of social responsibility, to discovering, during the pandemic, "the beauty of being still."

-Katherine Gekker, author of In Search of Warm Breathing Things

In Winter of My Life, Sherri Wright engages in conversation with memory in a debut book which evokes the extraordinary imagery of The Eastern Shore. In such poems as "The Garden Goddess" and "The Great Blue Heron at Silver Lake", Wright's imaginative approach allows the reader to delve into the inner workings of the mind of the feminine, exploring contemporary issues such as domesticity, divorce, and the vast differences between generations. Questioning her own mortality, Wright allows the reader to entertain the question of regret, and the enormous joy of living life unrestrained.

-Tara A. Elliott, poet and Executive Director of Eastern Shore Writers Association
