AUTHOR NOTES

GLASS RAIN—the poetry by Margaret Roxby

“GIFT FROM THE SEA OF NIGHT,” expresses the author’s lifelong fascination with stars and astronomy. Growing up at a time when city lights were few and not powerful, the night sky revealed much more than the sky above her later home in California where she tried to teach her child to identify the constellations that were visible in spite of light-pollution.

REFRACTIONS—a poem by Robert Roxby

“THE LITTLE WOMEN” was first published in the author’s collection, “Reflections on a Lifetime.” With Father’s Day nearing, the author reminds of of the often unsung activities performed by women.
