Synopsis

Beeby Pearson began writing poetry in her mid-60s. As a Yoga teacher and meditation practitioner, she also approached poetry as a daily practice. Working on her own, in workshop settings and with poetry groups, she became adept in the translation of her observations and emotions. In 2010 Prime Time Cape Cod and the Academy of Lifelong Learning awarded her 1st Place for her poem, entitled "Living Will." Unhooking was originally intended as a gift for family and friends on the occasion of the award-winning author's 75th birthday. Publication was delayed, however, by a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. The self-published version was delivered into the writer's hands 6 months later, only hours before she died. The decision to offer these intimate poems to a wider audience was not difficult. Themes of loss, grief, and recovery extend to all in the human family. Anyone who has struggled to come to terms with the death of a child, to free themselves from religious dogma, or simply to find meaning in the midst of everyday life will find resonance in these articulate and profound poems.
