Description

Leonard Cohen: A Life of Spirit and Song Leonard Cohen was a man of profound spirituality, emotion, and intelligence, whose work explored the deepest issues of human life. As a poet, novelist, and songwriter, he brought a unique literary quality to his music, and his songs revealed a depth and richness that was rare in popular music. This biography offers a remarkable insight into Cohen's life, from his childhood in Montreal to his immersion in Jewish culture, his obsession with Christian imagery, and his deep commitment to Buddhist detachment. The book also explores his five-year stay at a monastery outside Los Angeles and his ordainment as a Rinzai Zen Buddhist Monk. With its unique blend of spirituality, emotion, and intelligence, Cohen's life and work continue to have a profound impact on multiple generations of writers, poets, musicians, artists, and everyday people.
