Description
Exploring Haiku by Sherrie Wade
Between Verses: A Journey of Friendship, Creativity, and Resilience
This 45-page collection captures Sherrie’s poetic journey between June and November 2024. It is a remarkable testament to creativity and connection. What began as a personal exploration became something extraordinary.
The poems are rooted in Haiku, a traditional Japanese poetic form. Each poem follows a precise three-line structure of 5-7-5 syllables. Sherrie and her friend Karen Stahl shared these poems during intimate Zoom sessions. The collection reveals a profound narrative of Sherrie’s final months. It offers readers an intimate glimpse into moments of deep reflection.
Margot transformed the book’s visual landscape through innovative artistry. Instead of traditional illustrations, she used AI technology. She crafted over 60 unique images that respond to Sherrie’s words. Through carefully constructed prompts, Margot created a visual narrative. Her images echo the poems’ emotional terrain. The result is a seamless dialogue between text and image.
Each book is a small-batch treasure. It is printed with high-quality pigment ink. Margot personally assembles every copy. This isn’t a mass-produced volume. Each book is a carefully crafted art object. Every copy receives individual attention. Limited in number and rich in meaning, these books are more than publications. They are handcrafted keepsakes that capture a moment of human connection.
More than a poetry collection, this is a collaborative artwork. It is a window into human connection, creativity, and resilience. The book stands as a beautiful memorial to Sherrie’s spirit. It celebrates her poetry and the power of artistic friendship.
