Not so at the New West website, which has a thread devoted to books and writers in the Rocky Mountain region. Boulder-based writer Jenny Shank offers almost-daily updates on local readings, publishing gossip and reviews of books penned by real, live Colorado authors; the blog also features in-depth interviews with such authors as Kent Haruf and Nick Arvin. Yes, Denver does have a lively literary scene — and you can find it right here. Jenny Shank was proud to be a book reviewer for the late, great Rocky Mountain News from 2000 through 2009. Her articles, reviews and interviews have also appeared in High Country News, PBS Media Shift, Westword, Boulder Daily Camera, Colorado Daily, Colorado Parent, Colorado Rockies Magazine, Miami New Times, Crosscut Seattle, and Western American Literature.
