Author’s Notes

GLASS RAIN—the poetry by Margaret Roxby

“THE POWER OF DREAMING” was shared with the author’s Round Robin poetry friends in 1992.

REFRACTIONS—a poem by Robert Roxby

“RHODODENDRON” was originally published in his collected poems, Reflections on a Lifetime. As a child who grew up in the mountains of West Virginia, he would be very familiar with the sight of rhododendrons.

THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS—the poetry of Kathleen Roxby

“FOR A CLASSMATE” was newly edited for this website. It was originally written soon after the author learned of her college classmate’s death. He had been a special friend, someone with whom she shared a rapport that she rarely found with others. This relationship features in another of the author’s poems, as well.
