Winter Words is a series of readings and talks featuring some of the most prominent writers in contemporary literature. Scions of fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and memoir speak in intimate Aspen venues, where topics of discussion range from the creative process to the role of art in today's world. Events take place throughout the ski season and are open to the public. Members of the Aspen Writers' Foundation and members of the Aspen Institute's Society of Fellows benefit from reserved seating, discounted tickets, and invitations to private dinners with today's most inspiring and talked about authors.
