I came across my favourite bit of prose by Leonard Cohen the other - TopicsExpress



          

I came across my favourite bit of prose by Leonard Cohen the other day in Beautiful Losers. A truly remarkable book - visceral, intense, unyielding and beautiful. I am a writer myself, and Ive been captivated by Cohens music, his eloquence and his poetry since I was a child. I have come through the fire of family and love. I smoke with my darling, I sleep with my friend. We talk of the poor men, broken and fled. Alone with my radio I lift up my hands. Welcome to you who read me today. Welcome to you who put my heart down. Welcome to you, darling and friend, who miss me forever in your trip to the end. I have a book of poetry myself that I have published recently, and would love for any Cohen fan to read it. Obviously nothing on the man himself, but similar influences including the modernist French poets and novelists, and Lorca himself. Let me know if you would like a copy :)
