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.
Miriam Lerner’s two-hour documentary The Heart of the Hydrogen Jukebox examines poetry in American Sign Language (ASL), and the movement that began in the 1980s and 1990s at the National Technical Institute for the Deaf at Rochester Institute of Technology. It tells the story of how ASL poetry was born, as it explores the nature of poetry and expression. The documentary premieres Saturday, Nov. 14 at the Palace Theatre in Seguin as part of the Fifth Cinema for Everyone Showcase.
Gemini Ink intern Laura Kraus and WIC director Anisa Onofre talked with Miriam Lerner about ASL poetry and her film, The Heart of the Hydrogen Jukebox.
Community leader and ritualist, Laurie Dietrich will enlighten students about the secret of speaking to the subconscious during her upcoming workshop. She’s slated to conduct the two-day workshop on Nov. 14 and Nov. 21, Dietrich will discuss the dual voice technique rooted in hypnotherapy and the psychology of brain function used in ritual and performance. Dietrich spends most of her time working as a practicing ritualist at Diana’s Grove, a community/ sanctuary/ retreat center in Missouri. The center stands by its precedence that self-discovery and self-creation is a spiritual process by promoting self-awareness through sacred rituals.
Gemini Ink intern Nicole Harbaugh talked with Laurie Dietrich about her upcoming class.
Former Express-News travel editor Tracy Barnett will conduct the Starting and Getting the Most Out of Your Weblog beginner and advanced courses this weekend as part of Gemini Ink’s fall semester. Barnett is a bilingual, multicultural and web-savvy travel writer, editor and teacher. With more than two decades of experience as an award-winning newspaper and magazine writer, an educator, and an author, she incorporates literary talent and a flair for adventure with today’s new media as an audio-video producer, photographer, blogger, and storyteller who crisscrosses boundaries of medium and culture. But more important than medium is the message, which goes beyond language and culture. No matter where she goes, Barnett’s travels are questions in search of answers that exist on the plane of the human heart. 
Gemini Ink’s Communications consultant Jennifer Herrera conducted a Q&A interview with Barnett via e-mail with a goal to keep questions and answers only 140 characters long (à la Twitter) as an example of incorporating social media in readers own blogs.
