levyfest 2006, a weekend cleveland in honor of D.A. Levy

A poetic fest produced by Bree Bodnar and S.A. Griffin, "Rabbits Over Clevyland" took place in Cleveland October 27-29, 2006, consisting of poetry, music, film and bookmaking. Green Panda Press, Rose of Sharon Press, Bottom DogPress, Deep Cleveland, Bottle of Smoke Press got their ink in it & hosts included Prosperity Social Club, Mac’s Backs Books on Coventry and Gallery 324.

The purpose of the fest was to celebrate community among friends and fans of the late d.a. levy.

levy was a renegade poet and publisher in Cleveland during the mimeo revolution of the late 1960’s. He was a torch-bearer for the underground poets and publishers of today. Poets, publishers, archivists, film directors, artists and friends of levy gathered in levy’s hometown on the anniversary of his birthday to read and share what yet ignites the flame.
