AUTHOR NOTES

GLASS RAIN—the poetry by Margaret Roxby

“SINKING OF THE FIRE” is the title the author left on what was still an unfinished poem. These lines, however, seem capable of standing alone even if they are not clearly related to the title. The author also left a scrap “The puny torch?” to tease the reader.

REFRACTIONS –the poetry of Robert Roxby

“MUSIC FOR THE SOUL” first appeared in his book Reflections on a Lifetime, 2000. It is included for August 27, National Just Because Day.

THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS—the poetry of Kathleen Roxby

“THE BEGINNING”is included for August 27, National Just Because Day. It is another poem that came about because of her struggle with depression.
