Denver has a vivid literary history including famed work from many poets, novelists and journalists; some born and raised in Colorado's capital while others, residents for only a short time. What they all have in common is they and their prose were influenced by Denver.

Cherry Creek, a neighborhood a few miles southeast of Downtown, has a charm of its own. Known for its well-to-do residents, country club, and upper-scale mall, it also includes a grid of quaint streets lined with boutique shops, galleries, and eateries.
