on oct. 29, 2002, the cleveland poetry
community gathered for levy lives! a 60th birthday celebration
in honor of cleveland's late, legendary outlaw poet, artist and
underground publisher d.a levy. thanks to everyone who came out
to cabaret dada in cleveland's warehouse district to read at
and/or attend levy lives! it was a powerful experience hearing
levy's friends and compatriots, such as kent taylor, russell
salamon, grace butcher, ingrid swanberg, tony walsh and daniel
thompson, talk about the 1960s poetry scene in cleveland, and
offer up terrific interpretations of d.a levy's work. local poets
who read at the event included vladimir swirinsky, jennifer napier,
daniel gallick,
michael salinger, kathy walker, katie daley, ben rader, bree
and paul skyrm. april baer of wcpn radio and david c. barnett
