History
John Williams founded The University of Denver Quarterly: A Journal of Modern Culture in 1966, shortening the name to Denver Quarterly in 1970. Publishing work at the nexus of the traditional and the cutting-edge, the journal celebrates the fluid and ever-evolving possibilities of the written word.
In 2019, W. Scott Howard became editor of Denver Quarterly, joining previous editors including, most recently, poet Bin Ramke and novelist Laird Hunt.
