I still remember the day I got my first library card. It was a hot afternoon in the summer, and we had gone to Bemis Public Library in Littleton to cool off. My sister was playing in the kids’ area as I piled up book after book on the counter, a towering mass of R.L.
While Colorado might not be the literary hub that New York or Washington are, we we have our fair share of literary greats right here in the Centennial State.
Denver boasts a vivid literary history filled with novelists, poets and journalists. Some were born and raised here, while others came seeking our clean air and mountain views in the prime of their literary prowess. Our mountains beg for stories, our caves are rich with lore, and our blue skies are the stuff of legends.
One of my favorite Halloween costumes when I was little was a homemade witch. My mom cut up black fabric and hastily sewed it together (as no one in our family knew how to sew). She decorated the fabric by drizzling neon green puffy paint all over it before hacking a jagged hole out of the top to slip over my head. The uneven, frayed cut added the perfect effect.
