AUTHOR NOTES

GLASS RAIN – poetry by Margaret Roxby

“MY NAME IS AUGUST” was found among the author’s papers and may have been the result of a writing challenge at her local chapter of Chapparel Poets.

REFRACTIONS – poetry by Robert Roxby

“SIS,” could be written about any of the author’s four sisters, but as it was written late in the author’s life is probably about the youngest, Dorothy (Dot) who was the last to die.  This poem is included in his collection Reflections on a Lifetime. It is included this week for August 7, National Sisters Day.

THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS – poetry by Kathleen Roxby

“SPELLING LIFE”is included this week for August 9, National Book Lovers Day. The poem expresses the author’s view of the value of the written word.
