SUMMARY:Poetry Reading - Donald Levering
DESCRIPTION:DONALD LEVERING was born in Kansas City and grew up there and in Oceanside\, New York. In addition to being awarded a NEA Fellowship\, Levering won the Quest for Peace Prize in rhetoric and was featured in the Academy of American Poets Forum\, the Ad Astra Poetry Project\, and the Duende Reading Series.

His latest book\, "Coltrane's God\," was released in 2015 to critical acclaim: "Coltrane's God" is a hip\, historical collection of "flatted thirds and sevenths\," full of those characteristic\, jazzy blue notes\, poems sung as if through saxophone and smoke. Levering has an ear and eye for jazz\, and what he writes here is part history\, part song\, following a lineage of jazz poets\, including Hughes\, Kerouac\, Baraka\, Carruth\, Harper\, and Mackey.   Kevin Rabas\, author of "Bird's Horn." Levering has volunteered with Earthwatch as a species preservation activist for leatherback turtles in Costa Rica\, queen conchs in Belize\, and with Enkosini for great white sharks in South Africa.
