The Early Donation Site is LIVE! We're aiming to raise $5,000 during The Big Give! $5,000 in scholarships will help 40 San Antonians bring their stories to life by allowing them to take our Public Writing Classes for free! Your support will directly benefit the Gemini Ink Cary Clack Scholarship Fund, in honor of esteemed journalist Cary Clack, a beloved Gemini Ink board member. https://www.thebiggivesa.org/organizations/gemini-ink
The Big Texas Author Talk is a *free* lecture series devoted to showcasing Texas authors from across our big state. Each month we feature one Texas author in conversation with another—from New York Times bestsellers living in Dallas, Houston, and Austin to our rich Texas Latinx border authors living in Laredo and McAllen, not to mention from other deep pockets and corners of our culturally diverse state.
Join Gemini Ink on Thursday, September 21st, for a night of poetry, prose, and performance as we celebrate the personal artistry of our Gemini Ink Partner Class teaching artists. Every day these instructors bring their passion for the writing arts to community spaces and inspire students of all ages. Tonight we hear their stories!
Our featured writers will include theater artist and playwright Marisela Barrera, lyricist and San Antonio Poet Laureate emeritus Andrea “Vocab” Sanderson, accomplished poet and educator Jim LaVilla-Havelin, award-winning fiction writer Desiree Kannel, and local poet and member of the Wyrdd Writers collective Annie Snider.
