Book Talk | Words Unsaid

Join community members for a reading and discussion of the late Jony Larrowe’s recently published book Words Unsaid: An Aspen Woman’s Poetry and Art Over Seven Decades. Led by Jony’s son Greg Poschman, readings will celebrate Jony’s poetry, art, and the Aspen community through the lens of a longtime local and beloved community member.

Jony speaks of many things in her poetry, much of it unsaid. Her poems are filled with humor and are sensitive, thoughtful, honest, and broad in scope, ranging from ski days to romances, from solo hikes to observations on wildlife, from travel with friends and family to dreams that she was a redhead. Her illustrations were almost a daily production. She was an expert skier, a mountain climber, a hiker, a knowledgeable conversationalist about wildflowers of Colorado, especially around Aspen, a cook/chef, a lodge owner, a mother, a world traveler, and so much more.

The event is free; books will be available for purchase, all proceeds benefit Aspen Historical Society.
