SUMMARY:"Passion Dey Couldn’t Steal" by Pamela Marshall-Koons
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe Writers Alliance of Gainesville will feature Pamela Marshall-Koons’ Passion Dey Couldn’t Steal\, a powerful one-woman theatrical work inspired by the life\, voice\, and legacy of author Zora Neale Hurston.\n\nHurston was an American writer who portrayed the racial struggles in the early 20th-century American South. Her most popular novel\, Their Eyes Were Watching God\, published in 1937\, is regarded as influential in both African American and women’s literature.\n\nThrough story\, movement\, music\, and embodied narration\, the play explores Hurston’s unwavering devotion to truth\, creativity\, and self-definition in the face of racism\, sexism\, and erasure.\n\nMarshall-Koons’ intimate performance invites audiences into Zora’s world—from Eatonville to Harlem—while reflecting on the enduring power of voice\, cultural memory\, and spiritual resilience. It is both a tribute and a testimony\, reminding us that passion\, once claimed\, cannot be taken.\n\nMarshall-Koons is a writer\, performer\, and cultural storyteller whose work centers on healing\, forgiveness\, and remembrance. Her artistic practice blends history\, spirituality\, and lived experience\, bringing forward voices that have shaped American culture while inviting audiences into reflection and restoration.\n\nThrough literature\, theater\, and community engagement\, she creates spaces where truth can be spoken\, stories reclaimed\, and the human spirit honored with grace and courage.\n\nShe is the creator of this acclaimed one-woman performance and the author of When Zora Spoke – I Remembered My Name. She wrote the book while writing the play.\n\n“The book encourages us to Remember Who We Are\,” Marshall-Koons said. “That is what Zora inspires in me. I am donating the proceeds from the sale of the book and my performances to help restore Ms. Zora’s last home in Fort Pierce.”\n\nThose who saw this performance at the Sunshine State Book Festival raved about it. Many said they would love to see it again. And if you missed it\, here is your chance.\n\nThe Writers Alliance is grateful to Pamela Marshall-Koons for her willingness to perform again on March 8\, 2026\, at 2:30 p.m.\, at the Millhopper Branch of the Alachua County Library.\n\nThe book can be purchased at www.pameladmarshall.com or at the event on March 8. A book signing will follow the program\, which is free and open to the public.\n \nParking: If the library lot is full\, you may park in the Florida Credit Union lot at 2831 NW 43rd Street\, Gainesville\, FL 32606.

SUMMARY:Poetry Play: The Journey of Finding Surprise by Aliesa Zoecklein
DESCRIPTION:Come join the Writers Alliance of Gainesville on Sunday\, April 12\, at 2:30 p.m.\, when local poet and former Santa Fe College writing instructor Aliesa Zoecklein will share her secrets about discovery in writing poetry. \nZoecklein’s poems have been published in New Feathers Anthology\, Bacopa Literary Review\, Thimble Literary Magazine\, River Heron Review\, and other journals. Her chapbook At Each Moment\, Air won the Peter Meinke Poetry Prize and was published by YellowJacket Press. \n“The thrill of writing poems is in the discovery\,” Zoecklein says\, “so I love to talk about how we can journey ourselves toward that surprise. I’ll share some practices I use when first searching for my poems and then drafting.” \nShe will offer ideas for keeping our initial attempts playful and wide-ranging. And how\, if we’re lucky\, these practices can dispel resistance or boredom. She’ll also discuss how shaping the poem—deciding on line breaks\, for example—can help open the poem in a generative way. \n“I am always learning anew how to trust language to lift me toward what I don’t already know. I look forward to exchanging ideas and taking the group through one or two fun exercises. \nZoecklein taught writing for 25 years at Santa Fe College. Happily retired\, she lives with her wife in Gainesville\, Florida\, where she writes\, gardens\, and studies Spanish. \nThe program is free and open to the public. \n2:30-4:30 PM\nApril 12 \nMillhopper Branch\, Alachua County Library

SUMMARY:Trauma\, Part II: Trauma as a Character in Writing
DESCRIPTION:Join the Writers Alliance of Gainesville to learn how to use traumatic events as a resource in your writing. Kathy Connor Dobronyi will share her own stories of trauma and those of her characters to help you write about trauma. \nFew people reach adulthood without experiencing some painful\, emotional\, and traumatic events. Yet for us authors\, those trying events can become a treasure of knowledge and understanding that we can use in our writing. \nCome join us at the Millhopper Library at 2:30 p.m. on the second Sunday in June for a second look this year at using trauma as a resource in your writing. \nWAG member Kathy Connor Dobronyi will share her personal stories of trauma and the stories of her characters to help you write about trauma. \nTrauma is a word we often hear\, yet its true nature is frequently misunderstood and underestimated. There are three levels of trauma: acute\, chronic\, and complex\, a combination of the aforementioned. There is no single definition of trauma; it can be different things to different people. \nKathy has lived with complex trauma from a childhood of abuse and war. In her writing\, she uses the memory of her time in Saigon\, where she experienced terrorist bombings at an American theater and other facilities where Americans congregated. She also witnessed human immolation and heard the bombs and gunfire during the overthrow of the South Vietnamese President on November 1\, 1963. \nKathy is not a therapist or a clinician. She is a retired high school teacher\, a storyteller\, and a writer. Using stories from her life and the lives of her characters\, she shares the different facets of trauma and healing. \nAlthough she wrote articles for trade journals and developed lesson plans used by the Folgers Institute\, she never considered herself an author until she was asked by a local newspaper editor to write her story: Under the Wings of a Good Luck Phoenix: Memoir of an American Girl in Saigon\, 1963. \n2:30-4:30 PM\nJune 14 \nMillhopper Branch\, Alachua County Library\n3145 NW 43rd St.

SUMMARY:The Writer and the Machine: Collaborating with AI
DESCRIPTION:  \nAI won’t take your job. But someone who knows how to prompt it will. \nIn her book\, The Writer and the Machine\, Jaime Engle shows novelists\, screenwriters\, and entrepreneurs how to stay relevant and in demand by collaborating with AI—without losing their voice. Instead of fearing the future\, she teaches how to prompt AI with a story-first strategy to build intellectual property (IP) that sells. \nWith her proven creative framework\, you’ll learn to write faster\, pitch smarter\, and build IP that lasts—just like thousands of other creatives she has helped. \nJaimie Engle created the Engleverse stories in books\, film\, and TV. She wrote\, sold\, and produced Just Jake (2023)\, sold and developed a story with DreamWorks Animation Studios (2025)\, and was hired to write an audiobook for Fresh Produce Media (2025). \nShe founded Chapter Drops™ to help people with stories write and publish books\, offering a Pitch Drop service that connects authors with producers. She has written and published 25+ books\, earning awards such as Kirkus Choice Book of the Year (2020)\, Publisher’s Book Life Prize (Fiction and Non-Fiction 2020)\, and the Writers of the Future Award (2016). \nFor a deep dive into AI\, check out her book\, The Writer and the Machine\, which will be available for purchase following her talk. \nThis program is free and open to the public. \n2:30-4:00 PM\nJuly 12 \nMillhopper Branch\, Alachua County Library\n3145 NW 43rd St.\nGainesville\, FL 32606\n352-334-1272 (venue phone)\nMillhopper Branch | Alachua County Library District
