LITERATURE + LECTURES

Brazos Bookstore is pleased to present Rich Levy, who signs and discusses his book, Why Me?: Poems.

Rich Levy is a poet and (since 1995) executive director of Inprint, a nonprofit literary arts organization in Houston. He earned his MFA at the Iowa Writers Workshop, and his poems have appeared in Boulevard, Gulf Coast, Pool, The Texas Observer, and elsewhere. A jazz obsessive, he and his wife have three children, two dogs, and one sleepy cat.

This debut collection, published in Fall 2009 by Mutabilis Press reveals an original, and often humorous voice, that of husband, father, artist and executive, the voice of the aging modern man confronting the often absurd and hilarious dichotomies in our society.

Brazos is thrilled to present Rich Levy, an invaluable resource to Houston's literary life and a beloved friend to many.
