This week Gemini Ink features poet Trey Moore who is currently working on two projects for the Writers in Communities program (WIC). Moore facilitates “Writing in the Light,” a 12-week poetry workshop at Safe Haven Homeless Shelter that will result in a chapbook in April. He’s also facilitating two creative writing workshops on Gothic literature in two Harlandale middle schools; Terrell Wells and Kingsborough. The work produced in these workshops will culminate in an online anthology.
Moore received a B.A. in American Studies from the University of Texas at Austin and is a fourth-generation carpenter. He has traveled extensively (Alaska, Malaysia, Thailand, and Laos) and teaches poetry in public schools and juvenile detention centers in San Antonio, Texas. He has been published and reviewed in various national and international journals. A Texas native and arts activist, his work has appeared in the Texas Observer and a number of anthologies including: Is This Forever or What? and Between Heaven and Texas. Moore has a new book release, Some Will Play the Cello, which was recently published by Pecan Grove Press. Moore was kind enough to talk with Gemini Ink’s WIC director Anisa Onofre last week about the process of writing poetry.
Nice review, Just bought the book!
