PHOTOGRAPHY BY ROSS DANIELS INVITED Susan Boslough and Elyse Elliot US POET LAUREATE AT GONZO GALLERY Literary nonprofit Aspen Words teamed up with Aspen Peak for an exclusive event featuring US Poet Laureate Juan Felipe Herrera. The cocktail party—at the Hunter S. Thompson-themed Gonzo Gallery in Aspen—followed a discussion with Herrera, the first Latino US Poet Laureate, at the Aspen Institute's Paepcke Auditorium. The Gonzo Gallery event featured food from Jimmy's and a specialty "Crash Boom Love" cocktail from Woody Creek Distillers named after one of Herrera's recent novels. The evening benefitted English in Action, a local nonprofit dedicated to helping immigrants assimilate into the Roaring Fork Valley through English-language tutoring.
