AUTHOR NOTES

GLASS RAIN—the poetry of Margaret Roxby

“CARLOTA OF BELGIUM AND MEXICO” was found in the poet’s papers. It is included for July 22, National Hammock Day.

REFRACTIONS—the poetry of Robert Roxby

“SUMMER STROLL,” first appeared in the author’s collection, Reflections on a Lifetime.

THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS—the poetry of Kathleen Roxby

“BETWEEN BORDERS (At the Gate to Toyland),” is included this week for July 23, International Yada Yada Day. The circumstance of a “space” between borders that is special comes from the mind of the author when she was still a child and riding with her parents past the sign marking the edge of one of the United States and traveling some distance before encountering the sign marking the entrance to the neighboring state.
