When was the last time you heard poetry being read out loud? Or read poetry to someone else? Tonight I read poems to the audience between songs at my Leonard Cohen gig. It’s such a gentle and vulnerable thing to do and to listen to – just the human voice and beautifully crafted words. With all the beauty and darkness of Cohen’s penmanship.
I recommend this little book of his poems to sooth a troubled heart.
