About the magazine

Denver Quarterly is a literary journal founded in 1966 at the University of Denver. From its inception, it has been dedicated to publishing innovative poetry, fiction, and essays that challenge conventional forms and explore the boundaries of contemporary literature. The journal maintains a commitment to aesthetic rigor and intellectual curiosity, providing a platform for both emerging and established voices. Its longevity and association with the university underscore a dual mission: to foster a vibrant literary community and to uphold the university's tradition of scholarly and creative excellence.
