in which the modern world reveals the old: a Boston marriage in the heart of Old Atlanta

This is a beautiful story: one of contemplation and discovery. Jason Cochran was walking through the historic cemetery of Atlanta, oblivious to the family names and personal histories, and one word on a simple stone caught his attention: Poet.

While sitting and considering, he was able to use his iPhone to research Orelia Key Bell and deduce her life-long love, her muse, her companion in life and in death, and by-any-other-label-still her wife, Ida Ash.

The past and present, the obscure and the curious, collide in this story, bound by same-sex love.
