Aspen Words’ Winter Words series closed last week with a talk by Sandra Cisneros. The series had its highest attendance figures yet, according to the group.
About twenty percent more people came to the five events, compared to last year. Around 200-250 people came to see writers like Juan Felipe Herrera and Alison Bechdel.
Aspen Words Executive Director Mo LeMee says that because of the list of writers that have come to the series, he has become a more complete person.
“I’m much more well read to be honest,” said LeMee. “I think if you just read the people that came to be Winter Words, you would be a much more literate person.”
