Gemini Ink Writers Conference in San Antonio, July 2018
This 3-day conference has quite the line up in poetry, with renowned poet and editor Veronica Golos, Pulitzer Prize winner Vijay Seshadri, and Ruth Lilly Prize winner and Pulitzer Prize finalist Martín Espada. I can’t pass up this opportunity, and have already registered for Veronica Golos’s workshop. The conference runs from Friday, July 20 until 6:00 p.m. Sunday, July 22. If you’re a local or don’t mind traveling and want to sample the Texas summer (we do have air conditioning), you might consider Gemini Ink Writers Conference. I’m excited!
The non-poetry offerings are equally impressive, but hey, I’m a poet, and will let someone else address those.

So, you have a schedule of events?

Nope. All I know is that it starts sometime on Friday, and that it ends at 6:00 on Sunday. The in-between is still a little vague… 😀

Well, I guess knowing when the end is, for me, is a good start…

Will be in New Mexico … one downside of travel is missing the local and nearly-local goodies.

Oh, too bad! This should be a fun, low-key conference. But New Mexico!

Cool post, I’ve never attended a writing conference before. Would you recommend it?

I’ve not attended a Gemini Ink conference, but have attended six others. I definitely recommend them, particularly if the faculty have interests that mesh well with yours. At the risk of sounding hyperbolic, the first conference I attended, in 2012, changed my life.
