BOOK REVIEWS. Sort Of.


Book of Mercy - Leonard Cohen     
 

I first encountered Leonard Cohen in a YouTube video singing Hallelujah. (yes, please listen) 

I was drawn not only by his voice but by his incredible lyrics. At the time I didn't realize that he was also a respected poet.

This is a book of prose poems to savor, not rush through. I anticipate wearing out this slim volume.
