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.
