an unhappy subject dancing on a dangerous wire; it can mean life or death if she tumbles. A suicide mission: "A young girl pushes a prayer book embedded with a needle into her chest." A conflict of faith and a desire to end life is the immediate message that is made more clear when "Two centuries later, an ER doctor, thread in hand, holds a girl's sliced wrist in the air, and says this way, pointing with his pen, next time, cut them both, this way."from The Provincetown Banner: From anguish to tranquility, Pearson's poetry takes a poignant journey
