Comments
In February 1963, levy purchased a used letterhead hand-press, found by his brother Jim, and begins printed poetry under the Renegade Press imprint from his aunt and uncle's house in Cleveland. The first three Renegade Press titles were comprised of levy's own poetry, and were largely destroyed by him, with very few copies extant. The fourth publication (March, 1963) was a slim volume of poems by George Robert Beck - a friend of levy's and for a time, a detective and deputy sheriff in the Cleveland Police Department. Certainly a curious friendship, given levy's protracted dealings with the Cleveland PD. Scarce; OCLC notes 7 holdings (Yale, Emory, Northwestern, Michigan State, Cleveland Public, Kent State, Ohioana Library Association). Taylor & Horvath P-04.
