Genette Merin

Genette Merin is the Writing Center Coordinator at Roger Williams University, where she spends her time collaborating with colleagues, training tutors, and considering the next best ways to ignite conversation—the spinal cord to any written word. When she's not in the Writing Center, you can find her in the classroom teaching Writing in Professional and Public Contexts, Writing About Health, and How Writing Works.

Under the influence of her poetic muse, Genette has spent the past decade exploring, learning, and grasping the Earth Mind: nature's wild choice to transpose emotion onto us. It's a mode of consciousness. Earth Mind, part anthropocentric and part holocentric, has inspired her to journal her daughter's interactions with nature. These gentle entires will be published in the forthcoming book she copyedited, Earth Mind: What Indigenous Holistic Consciousness Teaches About Loving Earth & Living Beyond Human-Centered Thought. In addition to writing about this paradoxical state, Genette's work has been published in The Connecticut Review, The Carrier Pigeon, Cancer ABCs, Zink Magazine, and Jezebal Music.
