Author’s Notes

GLASS RAIN—the poetry by Margaret Roxby

Included for Memorial Day, “ANOTHER KIND OF WAR”, appears in honor of “those who also serve” on the home front. At least one of the author’s cousins served as a nurse in World War II, as well as a very close friend who was lost in the last days in the Pacific theater. The poem also offers a different, wider perspective of what war can be.
