| Posted by Olivia Martin on 01/05/10 at 12:51 PM Though I've never read Cohen's work (perhaps a new read for the new year), your reaction to it was amazing. I loved the second stanza - the form fit the phrasing; I also loved the last image of being a "drunken cartoonist" in the face of this "mona lisa." Wonderful, wonderful write! |

| Posted by Glenn Currier on 01/05/10 at 04:13 PM I love Cohen. He is a genius. I really like the way you have described your experience of reading / listening to him. There is something delightful to read poems about how the poet is affected by other artists. Thanks. |
