AUTHOR NOTES

GLASS RAIN—the poetry by Margaret Roxby

“TWO HAIKUS” is included this week for April 18, National Haiku Poetry. These two poems represents early efforts of the poet to produce in English the experience of a haiku written in the language and spirit of its origin. The poem was found among the author’s papers.

REFRACTIONS—the poetry of Robert Roxby

“MEADOW MEMORY” was found in the poet’s journal with a note that this particular memory is from a 1934 hike into the woods. Like many of his poems, it reflects his love of nature. The poem is included this week for April 22, International Mother Earth Day.

THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS—the poetry of Kathleen Roxby

“APRIL RAIN,” began as the author’s attempt to write a haiku for each season focusing on rain. Even though the syllable count of line two fails to meet the criteria, she decided she liked it enough as is to leave it alone.
