SUMMARY:Deadline Poets' Corner Contest: postmark date
DESCRIPTION:The Modesto Poets’ Corner Contest is now accepting entries for 2020! This year’s theme is “Kindness and Connection: How do we help to heal the divisions between people\, ideas and beliefs?

Feel free to write about whatever kindness and/or connection means to you! And remember\, we also accept poems on any topic of your choice in the general category. They do not have to be written recently\, they just have to be unpublished. \n\nEntries will be accepted via mail using the entry form below or via email at poetscornermodesto@gmail.com. All work must be postmarked by Saturday. March 7\, 2020. Winners will be notified in a post here\, on Facebook\, and by email in April.
