A Toronto native, he has a BA from York University and an MA in English literature from the University of Toronto. Sherman is a full-time faculty member at Sheridan College, where he teaches Humanities and Communications. He also teaches a course in creative writing at York University. In 1982, Sherman was writer-inresidence at Trent University. In 1986 he was invited by the Chinese government to lecture on contemporary Canadian literature at universities and government institutions in Beijing. In 1988, he received a Canada Council grant to travel through Poland and Russia. This experience inspired several of the essays in his book Void and Voice (1998). His recently published poetry work is titled Black River. Sherman will be joined by guest poet Barb Lefcourt. Each Poetry Café begins with readings by local poets, guest poets and feature poets and ends with an open mic. Poets are encouraged to bring their poems to share.
