You'll be seeing this logo several times in the next few months. The Jaipur Literature Festival (JLF) will be in Boulder, Colorado, for the second year this September 23-25.
Begun in 2006, JLF is held annually in January in Jaipur, a city of more than three million people in Northern India. The Diggi Palace (now a hotel) and its gardens in the heart of the city serve as venues for what Wikipedia describes as the largest free literary festival in the world.
In 2014 the JLF expanded to London. It will continue for its third year this May in the Southbank Centre.
Last year, JLF came to the United States. Not to New York City or Los Angeles, but Boulder, Colorado. In the Boulder Public Library and and Civic Lawns. Right here on the Front Range of the Rockies. Forty-two minutes from my house. How great is that?!
Those are the Flat Iron Mountains rising behind the

Oh, I see I will have to visit Boulder Public Library!
