AUTHOR NOTES

GLASS RAIN—the poetry by Margaret Roxby

The poem “LETTER TO AN EDITOR” mirrors, with humor, a letter she sent to an editor querying the fate of poems sent. The editor responded with apologies and the date of publication. These letters are in the poet’s papers. The poem is included this month for other poets with similar woes for this year’s Poetry Month.

REFRACTIONS—poetry by Robert Roxby

“POKEY DAVIS,” is about an acquaintance of the author from 1931. It first appeared in his anthology, Reflections on a Lifetime, and is included this week for Go For Broke Day, April 5.

THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS—the poetry of Kathleen Roxby

“POEMS AS LONELY ORPHANS” is included for Poetry Month as commiseration with other poets who might feel the same at times. The author composed this piece after more than one poetry prize submission failed to connect with the judges.
