Write one or more brief memoirs (i.e., a nonfiction piece up to 1200 words in lengt) that vividly presents and explores the meaning of a particular past experience.
Up Next: We're in conversation with Daniel Peña's about his novel, Bang. We'll also have a discussion on the craft and business of writing. About Bang: An undocumented Mexican family living in South Texas is torn apart when a son inadvertently becomes involved with narcotraficantes in Daniel Peña's debut novel that explores contemporary issues of immigration, border life and international drug smuggling.
Please join Gemini Ink and our San Antonio writing community for an unforgettable birthday bash...
We're talking with Thomas Q. Morín about his memoir, Let Me Count The Ways. We'll also discuss the craft and business of writing.
Let Me Count the Ways is the memoir of a journey into obsessive-compulsive disorder, a mechanism to survive a childhood filled with pain, violence, and unpredictability. Morín’s compulsions were a way to hold onto his love for his family in uncertain times until OCD became a prison he struggled for decades to escape. Tender, unflinching, and even funny, this vivid portrait of South Texas life challenges our ideas about fatherhood, drug abuse, and mental illness.
Please join us for this Writing Vigil honoring the Queer & Trans lives we’ve lost...
Up Next: 2022 National Book Award Finalist Allison Adelle Hedge Coke, author of the book-length poem, Look at This Blue.
In this workshop led by American Book Award winner Allison Hedge Coke, we will study musical genres, influences, and elements that will develop our knowledge of structure and momentum so that we can infuse our lines with lyricism, sound, and rhythm from beginning to end.
Through examination of poetry ranging from ancient Greece to the best contemporary pieces, we will study techniques poets use to create erotic imagery with skill and taste.
Are you a storyteller? Have you ever considered how to push the boundaries of what storytelling could be? Ever wondered what blending genres of horror, folktales and traditional stories, as well as magical imaginings, could mean for your work? In this generative writing workshop for adults 16+, we will explore short stories, poems and hybrid pieces that unlock the strange, the magical, the grotesque, and the beautiful that we find in our everyday lives. You will have the opportunity to find the weird in the ordinary, explore traditional stories and urban legends, and reimagine realities.
