Poetry Month - Medieval Ohio: a Poem for d.a. levy, New Words Inspired by a Cleveland Original

Poet Richard Blevins has recently completed a major new work inspired by the short, fervent life of Cleveland poet, publisher and artist d.a. levy. Kenneth Warren, the former Director of Lakewood Public Library, and poet-publisher Tod Thilleman will join Blevins for a roiling discussion of the deep Cleveland history and unchecked hermeticism that gripped the imagination in the 1960s and continues to speak in poetry. The lowercased levy, best known for works such as The North American Book of the Dead, Cleveland Undercovers, and Suburban Monastery Death Poem aspired to nothing less than reading everything, writing everything and losing himself in infinity. His vision and ambition live on over forty years after his death.
