THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS—the poetry of Kathleen Roxby

“FOR PETE DUEL, SYLVIA PLATH, FREDDIE PRINZ and all the ones WHO FED THEIR SOULS TO THE HAWK” is included this week for November 1, World National All Souls Day. These three poured out their lives in occupations this poet admires: poetry and theater. All three died in approximately a ten year period of emotional turmoil in poet’s own life, so their deaths had special meaning for her.
