AUTHOR NOTES

GLASS RAIN—the poetry by Margaret Roxby

“THE AWAKENING” is included this week for National Daylight Appreciation Day, June 21. However, Margaret wrote this in response to joining a poetry workshop group with younger women (including her daughter). This occurred at a time when the author was doubting her ability to continue writing, but being with these younger creative women awoke her muse once more. This is the true subject of this poem.

REFRACTIONS—the poetry of Robert Roxby

“WE WERE FREE, PART TWO” is included this week for West Virginia Day and also for National Selfie Day as this selection is like a series of selfies in words.. The poem was found in the author’s poetry journal. Note: part one of this selection appeared in May: https://www.singularprism.com/2023/05/08/we-were-free-part-one/
