Judith Lynn Antel­man is a poet and writer from Pas­sa­ic, New Jer­sey. Her pas­sion for trav­el took her to cities as far away from home as San Fran­cis­co and Krakow. When not writ­ing or trav­el­ing, Judith plays piano, and wish­es she had been a clas­si­cal pianist. She holds an MFA in Cre­ative Writ­ing from The New School. The Pugilist’s Daugh­ter is her first col­lec­tion of poems. Judith lives in Mont­clair, New Jersey.
