Author’s Notes

GLASS RAIN—the poetry by Margaret Roxby

The poem “NEVER THE TWAIN” was still in its final editing stage when found. Though the author had a son and daughter, this poem is not necessarily about them. The author used poetic license in her choice of the images she used.

REFRACTIONS—a poem by Robert Roxby

“TO MOTHER” first appeared in the author’s anthology, Reflections of a Lifetime. It was written as a tribute to his mother.

THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS—the poetry of Kathleen Roxby

“The Green Castle” is included this month because the emerald is the gemstone for May. It was written when the author was working on a series of poems focused on colors. The author decided not to include this in the collection to be called, “A Singular Prism.”
