REFRACTIONS—a poem by Robert Roxby

“HORN OF AFRICA” is included this week as a nod to March 25, United Nations Slavery Remembrance Day, though the author did not have slavery in mind when he wrote this poem. Rather he wrote in reaction to race-related violence in South Africa. The poem first appeared in his collected poems, Reflections on a Lifetime.
