AUTHOR NOTES

GLASS RAIN—the poetry by Margaret Roxby

“GRIEF” may or may not be written about the days following the loss of her first child, a son who never breathed after birth. The author told of how her eventual recovery resulted after a nurse, against orders, brought to her room a live prematurley born Black child which barely fit in the nurse’s palm. The sight of this little miracle is what Margaret felt broke through her depression.

REFRACTIONS— the poetry of Robert Roxby

“THE WALL” is likely written about the wall of names commemorating the ship Arizona sunk duing the Pearl Harbor attack. The author and his wife visited Honolulu where they were strongly moved by the memorial.

THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS—the poetry of Kathleen Roxby

“YELLOW IS A STATE OF MIND” is one of several poems exploring color in the author’s chapbook, “Singular Prism,” soon to be published.
