Gemini Ink is excited to announce the launch of a new monthly tradition created in partnership with the San Antonio River Foundation. Family- and pet-friendly. Plenty of parking. BYOB. Each reading features local, regional, and nationally-recognized authors reading alongside emerging writers from across San Antonio. Join us each month as we celebrate our city’s vibrant literary culture.
Writers are invited to map their personal journey on the page. Our goals will include the development of a consistent writing practice, building tools that support this daily work, taking on new challenges and prompts, and allowing ourselves to trust our own instincts with our work.
Andrea “Vocab” Sanderson (poet, singer, hip-hop artist) serves as a Writer In the Communities for Gemini Ink, co-hosts: 2nd Verse, and hosts Jazz & Poetry with a Purpose. Her work is inspired by her love of community. She has been published in The Texas Observer, Pariah A1nthology SFA Press, Sycorax’s Daughters, and Cedar Groove Publishing. She released a long-anticipated single, “Waiting For Me,” in December of 2017. She recently received two awards: Influencer of the Year 2017 and Dream Voice, and appeared on the cover of The San Antonio Current.
Christopher ‘Rooster’ Martinez is a local San Antonio poet, and community organizer awarded a poet in residence at Lanier High School, and a recent graduate student at Our Lady of the Lake University's MA-MFA program. He co-founded the Blah Poetry Spot in 2012. He is also an organizer and coach with Fresh Ink Youth Slam.
This collective’s mission is to encourage the art of writing in a workshop environment where participants offer honest, positive, and constructive feedback. Geared to all active duty military, veterans, and their immediate family members, the group is open to writers of all levels working in all genres.
