Winter Words, the winter season author evening programs presented by Aspen Word, have often been referred to as "apres ski for the mind" and rightfully so. This five-event series brings some of the world's most notable writers to the intimate Paepcke Auditorium for insightful discussion of the art and craft of writing. The season kicks off tomorrow, January 12, at 6pm with Juan Felipe Herrera, the 21st poet laureate of the United States, performing artist and activist. Details at aspenwords.org.
