In some quarters considered to be the American Rimbaud, d a Levy has also been compared to Shelley and Lorca because of the vastness of his talent. A visual artist and an important figure in the concrete poetry movement, he was also a publisher, mystic and activist who either was murdered or committed suicide at the age of 26 in Cleveland, Ohio. An event that occurred after two and a half years of intense media coverage, police harassment and court trials, and just as he was starting to be recognised as one of the most important writers and artists of his generation.
