Cohen Poem a Mantra

I have that in a book titled Leonard Cohen: Selected Poems 1956-1968

Hey, edgarblythe,

The book I found is called LEONARD COHEN POEMS 1956-1968
Cape Poetry Paperbacks.
It's a slim paperback with a grainy, blown-up photograph of an ear (yes,
a single ear) on the front and a small photograph of Cohen on the back.

I found it in a jumble sale (for 20p), already looking like it had been chewed by a dog.

Another poem in there that intrigues me is:

A Person Who Eats Meat

A person who eats meat
wants to get his teeth into something
A person who does not eat meat
wants to get his teeth into something else
If these thoughts interest you for even a moment
you are lost

Someone from the book's past had scribbled in pencil:
Exactly! underneath.

In truth, I think that one word makes it for me.

Peace,
E

Have you tried either of his novels? The Favorite Game and Beautiful Losers.

No, but thanks. I'll look out for them.

Thanks guys for the information. I will try and find them.

My favorite of his musical compositions is "The Future"

I like his Recent Songs and Songs of Love and Hate best, although it's hard to really choose.

I will look for that edgar, thanks. Would you give us a little sample?
