In
her third book of poems, Tunnel
Maze,
Simply Sherri walks through the dark valley of grief, the pain that
comes with love, and the soul-taxing anxiety caused by an unjust
society. Yet not only does she invite the reader to poetically walk
this labyrinth with her; she also awakens hopeful glimmers calling us
toward a better place. Undoubtedly, through Simply Sherri’s verse,
the reader will be encouraged to find a healing path through their
own tunnel maze.
With Tunnel Maze,
Simply Sherri reminds us that there’s no way around it; only
through it. Yet the reader will feel a resonance with these poems
which process out grief and other challenges of our current society,
and will walk with the poet as she searches a way forward. –Analysis
