About the Tour
Behold, the misfits and infidels of Denver's vivid literary history. They range
from fast-burning, baby-faced geniuses who stayed for a year or two, to slow-writing
Western sages who wrote their hearts out in the town they inhabited for the whole
of their lives.
Despite their wide-ranging minds and dispositions, they each - sometimes in spite
of themselves - possessed a touching, furious affection for their Denver years.
More charming still is that Denver tended to love them back, even if Colorado was
only a brief stop on the way to their pronounced, subsequent fame.
Climb, then, into any automobile you choose, either an S.U.V. or an anti-S.U.V.,
and bear witness (at a legal pace!) to these creative ones along each of the
seven stops that constitute the Denver Lit Tour. Enjoy!
