April 18, 2013 Leonard Cohen

My wife came home with a wonderful book with the poem by Leonard Cohen, Dance me to the end of love as the text and pictures by Matisse. It was wonderful. I began wondering more about the writings of Leonard Cohen. His song Suzanne was a favorite of mine when I was a young teenager, and his Hallelujah has become a wonderful hit. But apart from his music, I know very little of his other writings.
I have known a little about him, that he was from Canada, but not much more. So, it became evident who I was going to read this Thursday. I was holding out for a local poet, but was instead blessed at the last minute by this wonderful writer.
