Literary Spotlight on Denver

In honor of Denver's 150th anniversary, the late Rocky Mountain News published 'A Dozen on Denver,' stories from 12 diverse talents including Pam Houston, Nick Arvin, Diane Mott Davidson, Manuel Ramos and many other notables. The stories run from the 1860's all the way into the future (You sure you want to go there?) Pan for gold along Cherry Creek, have a beer with Jack Kerouac at El Chapultepec, get your hair cut -- unwillingly -- at Union Station. These are real cool stories and it's such a pleasure to live in a city with such a strong literary tradition.
