Denver Revisited, Part II: Famous Writers

Once we joked about the sunshine in Denver.  The supposition was that since it is sunny nearly every day of the year there is, never was, and never will be true literature from Denver.  The sunshine, maybe.  What's in the water too?  But I ask myself, is there, were there, and will there be good literature from Denver?  As many of you know, I found myself in the throes of the Beats last year.  For whatever reason this group of drug-addled hooligans suddenly appealed to me, I may never know.  That said, Jack Kerouac, Neal Cassady and Allen Ginsberg having been born elsewhere, all spent time in Denver. They all wrote heavily about Denver too.  The Beats saw the beauty of Denver mixed with the bars and sex of Larmier Street and wrote it all down.
