THE LEONARD COHEN MEMORIAL


On this blog of mine, among other  topics, I've dedicated a few pages and posts to my beloved and much missed friend Leonard Cohen, poet, novelist, songwriter and singer.

These texts include an anthology of his poetry excerpted from The Spice-Box of Earth, a full dissertation (ca. 160pp) of Cohen's early work up to 1970, more poems and their translation into Italian by yours truly, photographs and various other images from his life, a couple of critical pages on Facebook, etc.

Here's the relative Index (you can click the links and new windows will open).  From time to time, I'll add further material as I see fit.
