Pencils raised: poetry contest for Montclair Local

For a special feature in observance of National Poetry Month, send us your short poems on the subject of travel. It doesn’t have to be literal travel; you can interpret the theme any way you like.

Poems may be up to 14 lines long, so write a sonnet if you are so moved. Please send poems to Gwen Orel, culture editor, at orel@montclairlocal.news.
