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.
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.
