LevyFest is a poetry festival and conference celebrating Cleveland poet, publisher, and artist d.a. levy (1942-1968) and his influence upon small press publishing, print and book arts, and the poetry communities of Cleveland, Ohio, and beyond.

Events for LevyFest 2014 included live letterpress and mimeograph printing demonstrations, zine manufacturing events, writing, publishing, and bookmaking workshops, public readings of poetry and fiction, book launch events for small press publishers, receptions and meet-ups for poets, authors, and publishers, and academic panels including presentations on the history, implications, and pedagogical benefits of small press publishing, the mimeograph revolution, and the works of d.a. levy.

Until the next levyfest, visit the d.a. levy collection in Cleveland Memory.org. The online collection is a portal to works by and about Cleveland poet d.a. levy. The collection includes a digital gallery of CSU's levy collection of poetry, artwork, newspapers, manuscript and media materials, photographs and other related ephemera along with links to bibliographies and additional resources about levy.
