Nestling Bio



Beki Reese

I'm Beki Reese, born in Santa Monica, CA. I have lived within a mile of the ocean all my life except for a brief mistake in South Carolina. These days I watch the sunset at Newport Beach, CA . I have 1 son, Caleb Emmanuel, 22, and 2 grown daughters, Charity Faith, 28, and Hannah Joy, 27. Charity lives in Reno, Nevada with my amazing 4 year old granddaughter Gracie. Hannah was recently married in a beautiful Renaissance wedding to a wonderful young man named David and they are expecting my second grandchild in April. I myself was married for 20 years but have been divorced now for 8 1/2, so I am learning what it's like to be single in the 21st centurty.

I have been writing poetry since I was 10, won my first contest when I was 11. I have published over 60 poems in various small press literary magazines and several national and international anthologies. I also have several publications in online ezines. Most of what I write and have published is haiku, but my publications also include a dozen or so Christian poems and several of my many love poems. I am on staff at several internet poetry sites. While poetry is my passion I also love movies, music and books. I am employed as a Circulation Supervisor in a medium sized county library.

My favorite poets are Sara Teasedale, WS Merwin, William Stafford, Edna St. Vincent Millay, WB Yeats, and Adrienne Rich. I love all kinds of music but currently I favor country. My favorite musician is a jazz guitarist named Peter White but other favorites include Josh Groban, The Dave Matthews Band, Toby Keith, Trace Atkins, Melissa Ethridge and Andrea Bocelli. My favorite movies are romances and various Shakespeare productions. My favorite actors include Kenneth Brannaugh, Gerard Butler, Alan Rickman, Sean Connery, and Liam Neeson and Gabriel Byrne. My very favorite actor is a delightful frenchman named Gerard Depardeaux.

The one obsession I claim is a huge devotion to Disney's Beauty and the Beast. I am a serious collector of all Beauty and the Beast merchandise and memorabilia, and my collection includes rare items from all over the world. I have seen the stage show half a dozen times and am planning a trip in 2006 to Germany to see it there. I also collect vintage first edition books, mostly poetry.  Sincerely,Beki
