“Steven Leyva’s newest book … is full of lyrics that pack more music and thinking into one line than many poets pack into a whole poem.” - Paisley Rekdal
Poet @sdleyva reading at the Mt. Vernon Place Church in Baltimore presented by @smartishpace@32poems & @barrelhousemag for @awpwriter . Intro by @justinmarks75 . Part of the fun of this event was seeing inside an iconic historic space in Baltimore, a long-shuttered 19th-century church. Thanks to @peabodyheightsbrewery for their beer sponsorship & @theivybookshop for their book selling.
Steven Leyva was born in New Orleans, Louisiana and raised in Houston, Texas. He is the author of two collections of poetry, The Understudy’s Handbook (Washington Writers' Publishing House, 2020) and The Opposite of Cruelty (@blairpublisher 2025). His poems have appeared in Smartish Pace.
