SUMMARY:The Big Texas Author Talk featuring Cyra Sweet Dimitru
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Wednesday\, December 17th\, 2025\, via Zoom for a conversation with Cyra Sweet Dimitru\, to discuss her new book\, Words Make a Way Through Fire: Healing After My Brother’s Suicide (Simon & Schuster).\n\n\n\n\n(Virtual Readings Quarterly @ 7pm CST) \n\n\nRSVP \nWords Make a Way through Fire is an intimate\, courageous memoir of a woman shattered by witnessing her eldest brother’s horrific suicide when she was a teenager. The book traces her creative journey of recovery and healing with poetry as a constant companion. \nThe primary means of Cyra Dumitru’s healing process\, from age sixteen through adulthood\, is writing poetry and journaling. During this decades-long journey\, Cyra experiences a transcendent\, loving presence called Voice who guides her and helps her imagine wholeness. She finds community with others through the sharing of poems. She studies poetry as craft and as medicine—becoming a published poet with multiple books\, an award-winning college instructor of poetry writing\, and a certified practitioner of poetic medicine who creates spaces where others can heal through poetry. \nIn Words Make a Way through Fire\, Cyra explores the specific medicinal properties of poetry—giving order to interior anxiety\, trusting the wisdom within—and invites her brother David to speak through her as he reflects upon his final hours. In doing so\, poem by poem\, she shifts gradually from being traumatized and feeling haunted to feeling empowered and spiritually expansive. \n\nAbout the Author\nCyra Sweet Dumitru is a published poet and instructor of poetry\, and one of four certified practitioners of poetic medicine in Texas. Her poems have appeared on the walls of City Hall\, been spoken on national public radio and in museums\, and appeared in city newspapers and national literary journals. Her collections of poems include What the Body Knows\, Listening to Light\, Remains\, and Elder Moon. She offers therapeutic writing circles for adults learning to live with trauma\, bereavement\, depression\, anxiety\, and religious trauma. Cyra lives in San Antonio\, Texas with her family. \n\nAbout the Moderator\nNatalia Treviño‘s fiction appears in Mirrors Beneath the Earth (Curbstone Press)\, The Platte Valley Review\, and her non-fiction appears in Wising Up Anthologies\, Complex Allegiances and Shifting Balance Sheets: Women’s Stories of Naturalized Citizens. Her first book of poetry\, Lavando La Dirty Laundry\, is available from Mongrel Empire Press and most online bookstores. A member of the Macondo Writers’ Workshop\, Natalia has been working to increase young adult literacy since 1992 in her teaching career and through programs sponsored by the Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center\, Gemini Ink\, and the Bexar County Juvenile Detention Center.

SUMMARY:LitMinds Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the LitMinds Book Club at Gemini Ink. We’re reading Their Eyes Were Watching God: A Novel by Zora Neale Hurston.\nRegister\n“A deeply soulful novel that comprehends love and cruelty\, and separates the big people from the small of heart\, without ever losing sympathy for those unfortunates who don’t know how to live properly.”—Zadie Smith \nOne of the most important and enduring books of the twentieth century\, Their Eyes Were Watching God brings to life a Southern love story with the wit and pathos found only in the writing of Zora Neale Hurston. Out of print for almost thirty years—due largely to initial audiences’ rejection of its strong black female protagonist—Hurston’s classic has\, since its 1978 reissue\, become perhaps the most widely read and highly acclaimed novel in the canon of African-American literature. \n\nFair and long-legged\, independent and articulate\, Janie Crawford sets out to be her own person—no mean feat for a black woman in the ’30s. Janie’s quest for identity takes her through three marriages and into a journey back to her roots. \n\n\nAbout the Author\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nZora Neale Hurston was a celebrated author\, anthropologist\, and central figure of the Harlem Renaissance\, known for novels like Their Eyes Were Watching God that focused on Black American life and folklore. Educated at Howard University and Barnard College\, she was a groundbreaking ethnographer who studied Black culture in the rural South and Caribbean\, incorporating her research into her fiction. Despite achieving literary fame\, she died in poverty\, and her work was largely forgotten until its revival in the 1970s\, led by authors like Alice Walker. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVisit our LitMinds page to see what we’re reading next!

SUMMARY:LitMinds Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the LitMinds Book Club at Gemini Ink. We’re reading The Broom of the System by David Foster Wallace.\nRegister\n\nThe “dazzling\, exhilarating” (San Francisco Chronicle) debut novel from one of this century’s most groundbreaking writers \nPublished when David Foster Wallace was just twenty-four years old\, The Broom of the System stunned critics and marked the emergence of an extraordinary new talent. At the center of this outlandishly funny\, fiercely intelligent novel is the bewitching heroine\, Lenore Stonecipher Beadsman. The year is 1990\, and the place is a slightly altered Cleveland\, Ohio. Lenore’s great-grandmother has disappeared with twenty-five other inmates of the Shaker Heights Nursing Home. Her beau and boss\, Rick Vigorous\, is insanely jealous\, and her cockatiel\, Vlad the Impaler\, has suddenly started spouting a mixture of psycho-babble\, Auden\, and the King James Bible. Ingenious and entertaining\, this debut from one of the most innovative writers of his generation brilliantly explores the paradoxes of language\, storytelling\, and reality. \n\n\nAbout the Author\n\nDavid Foster Wallace was an American author and professor who wrote novels\, essays\, and short stories. His work is known for its linguistic skill\, inventive structure\, and exploration of moral and existential questions. His 1996 novel Infinite Jest\, a complex\, sprawling dystopian tale\, is his best-known work. Wallace’s essays\, published in magazines like The Atlantic and Harper’s\, are also celebrated.  \nVisit our LitMinds page to see what we’re reading next!

SUMMARY:LitMinds Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the LitMinds Book Club at Gemini Ink. We’re reading The Safekeep by Yael van der Wouden.\nRegister\n\nA house is a precious thing… \nIt is 1961 and the rural Dutch province of Overijssel is quiet. Bomb craters have been filled\, buildings reconstructed\, and the war is truly over. Living alone in her late mother’s country home\, Isabel knows her life is as it should be—led by routine and discipline. But all is upended when her brother Louis brings his graceless new girlfriend Eva\, leaving her at Isabel’s doorstep as a guest\, to stay for the season. \nEva is Isabel’s antithesis: she sleeps late\, walks loudly through the house\, and touches things she shouldn’t. In response\, Isabel develops a fury-fueled obsession\, and when things start disappearing around the house—a spoon\, a knife\, a bowl—Isabel’s suspicions begin to spiral. In the sweltering peak of summer\, Isabel’s paranoia gives way to infatuation\, leading to a discovery that unravels all Isabel has ever known. The war might not be well and truly over after all\, and neither Eva—nor the house in which they live—are what they seem. \nMysterious\, sophisticated\, sensual\, and infused with intrigue\, atmosphere\, and sex\, The Safekeep is “a brave and thrilling debut about facing up to the truth of history\, and to one’s own desires” (The Guardian). \n\n\nAbout the Author\n\nYael van der Wouden is a writer and teacher. She currently lectures in creative writing and comparative literature in the Netherlands. Her essay on Dutch identity and Jewishness\, “On (Not) Reading Anne Frank”\, has received a notable mention in The Best American Essays 2018. The Safekeep is her debut novel and was acquired in hotly-contested nine-way auctions in both the UK and the US. Rights have sold in a further twelve countries. \nVisit our LitMinds page to see what we’re reading next!

She has received a Guggenheim Fellowship and four Pushcart Prizes\, and was a National Book Critics Circle Award finalist.

SUMMARY:Veterans Writing Collective with Sarah Colby
DESCRIPTION:The Veteran’s Writing Collective (VWC) encourages the art of writing in a workshop environment where participants are offered honest\, positive\, and constructive peer-to-peer and mentor feedback. The workshop is open to all active-duty military\, veterans\, retirees\, and their immediate family members. Writers of all levels working in all genres are welcome. \nThe VWC meets monthly online via Zoom.\nIf you would like an invitation to this class\, send an email to veteranscollective@geminiink.org\n\nSarah Colby was born in northern New Mexico and raised in the Rocky Mountains. She is married to a retired Army Chaplain and is mother to a son in the Navy. Sarah has an MFA in Creative Writing from Sierra Nevada College and an exuberant interest in making the ordinary luminous. Her war-time experiences have motivated her to be a voice for the mostly untold stories of families and loved ones during these years of protracted conflict. She is currently working on a manuscript of poems about her experiences as a military family member.\n \n
