AUTHOR NOTES

GLASS RAIN—the poetry by Margaret Roxby

“ANTARES” shares some of the author’s enthusiasm for astrology. Fascinated by both the beauty of the stars and the astrology that different cultures applied to their perceived patterns in the night sky, she writes on this occasion about a red giant which she could see (especially in her youth when city lights created less interference and in her last home where she could view the stars from the beach).

REFRACTIONS—a poem by Robert Roxby

“THE FEAST” is presented this week in anticipation Thanksgiving, November 28. The poem was found in the author’s journal. The poem describes his memories of childhood Thanksgivings, but perhaps gives a nod to later tables with food prepared by his wife.

THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS—the poetry of Kathleen Roxby

“AFTER THE TELE-FLICKER OF FAME” is presented this week for November 21, UN World Television Day. The author found inspiration in hearing and reading the anniversary news stories revealing the status of people once caught in dramatic events.
