AUTHOR NOTES

GLASS RAIN—the poetry by Margaret Roxby

“BEYOND THE REACH OF THE SUN” is included this week for Everything You Think Is Wrong Day, March 15. The author was fascinated by the old tales of the city of Atlantis and eagerly welcomed reports of others who chose to search for the remains of this storied place.

REFRACTIONS—a poem by Robert Roxby

“RIVER OF DREAMS” is included this week for World International Day of Action for Rivers, March 14. The poem first appeared in the author’s collection Reflections on a Lifetime. The river he describes may have been the Monongahela, Allegheny or Ohio all of which, interesting enough relevant to March 14, have problems with pollution dues to industry. Once lauded in poetry and song as the beautiful blue Ohio, turned the river into a churning brown carrying wastes and poisons downstream.

THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS—the poetry of Kathleen Roxby

“A PHOENIX IN THE GARDEN” is included this week for March 12, National Plant a Wildflower day. The author transplanted a wildflower plucked from a trail beside the creek near her home to plant in her garden. This poem describes how it fared.
