Inspired by the American Beat movement, he wrote and published his first poetry collection in samizdat. After signing Charter 77, he was forced to emigrate in 1979. He lived in Israel and then moved to San Francisco, where he was active in the arts, organizing poetry readings and publishing his work \u2013 a practice he continued after coming to New York. His writing has appeared in numerous publications both in the United States and abroad. His latest poetry collection, B(lack) &amp; W(hite) Wet Paint Poems, is available online through Xlibris, Amazon, Borders, and Barnes&amp; Noble. Gabriel\u2019s cartoons and collages, known as GabLevages\u00ae, reflect his perceptions of the often-surreal life around us.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.svu2000.org\/newyork\/wp-content\/Gabriel-Levicky-cover-for-cartoon-book-2-scaled-e1789153704974.jpg\" alt=\"Book Cover 500\" \/><br \/>\n________________________________________<br \/>\nThis event is organized with the support of the Bohemian Benevolent and Literary Association (BBLA) in New York.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tuesday, September 29, 2026 at 7 PM At Bohemian National Hall 321 E 73 St, New York City Join us in celebrating the free spirit of our friend and SVUNY Board member, Gabriel Levicky, who passed away in May 2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.svu2000.org\/newyork\/news\/remembering-gabriel\/\" class=\"read-more\">Read More &#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[121,41],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5388","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-121","category-news"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.svu2000.org\/newyork\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5388","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.svu2000.org\/newyork\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.svu2000.org\/newyork\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.svu2000.org\/newyork\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.svu2000.org\/newyork\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5388"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/www.svu2000.org\/newyork\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5388\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5399,"href":"https:\/\/www.svu2000.org\/newyork\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5388\/revisions\/5399"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.svu2000.org\/newyork\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5388"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.svu2000.org\/newyork\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5388"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.svu2000.org\/newyork\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5388"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
