Lost Horse Press and Sandpoint Parks and Recreation have teamed up to present “The Winter Salon: Lectures, Readings and Book Signings featuring David Axelrod, Melissa Kwasny, and Christopher Howell” at the Sandpoint Community Hall on Saturday, Dec. 9. Admission is free, and all are welcome.
The Winter Salon will begin at 10 a.m., and will include lectures by the three featured writers, with discussions to follow each topic.
David Axelrod presents “A Lyric Ecology for the End of the World (and After),” while Melissa Kwasny discusses “The Power of the Image,” a theme from her recent book of essays entitled, “Earth Recitals: Essays on Image and Vision.” Christopher Howell will discuss his work “Poetry and the Inner Life.”
After the talks, there will be a break for lunch. Lost Horse Press and the writers will adjourn to Thai Nigiri. We invite any local writers who wish to join us for lunch, a lively discussion and general mayhem to do so at 12 p.m.
After lunch, we will head back to Sandpoint Community Hall for a reading and book signing, which will commence at 2 p.m.
While we have you ...
... if you appreciate that access to the news, opinion, humor, entertainment and cultural reporting in the Sandpoint Reader is freely available in our print newspaper as well as here on our website, we have a favor to ask. The Reader is locally owned and free of the large corporate, big-money influence that affects so much of the media today. We're supported entirely by our valued advertisers and readers. We're committed to continued free access to our paper and our website here with NO PAYWALL - period. But of course, it does cost money to produce the Reader. If you're a reader who appreciates the value of an independent, local news source, we hope you'll consider a voluntary contribution. You can help support the Reader for as little as $1.
You can contribute at either Paypal or Patreon.
