2010 Evil Companions Literary Award
The Evil Companions Literary Award is presented annually in April to a poet or writer who embodies the spirit of the original Evil Companions. The award pays homage to a group of Denver writers who met in the 1950s and '60s to drink and discuss writing, and dubbed themselves the Evil Companions.
