Letters Lost and Found
In 1945, a fifteen-year-old North Carolina farm girl and a sixteen-year-old Liverpool schoolboy began a correspondence as part of a school project that would endure for more than fifty years. Their mutual love of books and writing and their similar backgrounds helped bind the two in a relationship that poet and assistant professor Steve Katz of NCSU calls born of the pen. Goolsby's initial letters were thought to be missing when their successful book LETTER IN A BOTTLE was published in 1991. Found in Graham's tool shed in London in 1993, they now appear in their entirety in LETTERS LOST AND FOUND for the first time.
