Rochelle Lynn HoltROCHELLE LYNN HOLT was first pen pal and then friend to Virginia Love Long in Bushy Fork, North Carolina. They read together at Butner Federal Penn. in the Eighties. Their correspondence and friendship continued for almost three decades. They even colaborated on several published projects: poetry and non-fiction honored by Pulitizer Prize commendations in the small press world. Rochelle lost her partner of twenty eight years less than two months after the passing of her best friend, Virginia. The losses were devastating. With the permission of both her late friend and Virginia's sister, Rochelle decided to edit the literary letters of Virginia, filled with her poems and ever-present wit. Since Virginia referred to Rochelle as my twin, the author devised a novel epistolary project entitled, Pointing to the Moon. Rochelle and Virginia were devotees of the moon and her advising progressions. Oddly enough, Virginia's love of her cats came to be experienced by Rochelle when she entered a new relationship and inherited two tabbies, Iris and Tiffany. Now, the author divides her time outside the city of her birth (Chicago) and her home for the past thirteen years in Ft. Myers, Florida. Read More Read Less
