Poemes Et Chansons, II
Poemas e Canções é a mais vasta antologia de Leonard Cohen até hoje publicada. Escolhida com a participação do próprio autor, e integrando vários poemas inéditos, reúne os principais textos — se exceptuarmos os romances — da sua produção literária e musical. No seu conjunto, é uma viagem imaginária através da beleza, do horror, do amor e do desespero.
Leonard Cohen nasceu em Montreal em 1934. Em 1956 editou Comparemos Mitologias. O seu primeiro disco, Songs of Leonard Cohen, divulgado em 1967, foi um assinalável início musical e popularizou algumas das suas canções mais famosas, como “Suzanne”.
Desde os anos 60, foram publicados onze livros de poemas, dois romances e dezassete álbuns musicais de Cohen, que o tornaram um dos mais conhecidos e influentes artistas, no Canadá, nos Estados Unidos da América e na Europa.

About the author
Leonard Cohen
205 books2,242 followersLeonard Norman Cohen was a Canadian singer-songwriter, poet and novelist. Cohen published his first book of poetry in Montreal in 1956 and his first novel in 1963.
Cohen's earliest songs (many of which appeared on the 1968 album Songs of Leonard Cohen) were rooted in European folk music melodies and instrumentation, sung in a high baritone. The 1970s were a musically restless period in which his influences broadened to encompass pop, cabaret, and world music. Since the 1980s he has typically sung in lower registers (bass baritone, sometimes bass), with accompaniment from electronic synthesizers and female backing singers.
His work often explores the themes of religion, isolation, sexuality, and complex interpersonal relationships.
Cohen's songs and poetry have influenced many other singer-songwriters, and more than a thousand renditions of his work have been recorded. He has been inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame and the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame and is also a Companion of the Order of Canada, the nation's highest civilian honour. Cohen was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on March 10, 2008 for his status among the "highest and most influential echelon of songwriters".

I wish I could rate this with more than 5 stars, it deserves much more, I bought it 1 hour ago and I read all the poems on the way home.
Cohen's beautiful way with words just leaves me dumbfounded at each verse.
