Deep Café. 'De mon café dans les bas-fonds': quand Leonard Cohen était jeune poète, suivi de, La critique des critiques: Une revue de la littérature critique sur Leonard Cohen
|
| Abstract |
An autobiographical essay of the author's discovery of the poetry of Montrealer Leonard Cohen (1934-2016). The author begins with a reading of Cohen's first five published collections of poems, published when Cohen was a young poet and had not yet emerged as a singer. These collections are: (1) 'Let Us Compare Mythologies' (1956); (2) 'The Spice-Box of Earth' (1961); (3) 'Flowers for Hitler' (1964); (4) 'Parasites of Heaven' (1966); and (5) 'Selected Poems 1956-1968' (1968). The author revisits the time when he read Cohen's poems for the first time, and describes them as an evocation of the 1960s, when the author was in his twenties and Cohen was entering his thirties. The 'deep coffee' that Cohen mentions in his poem 'Cherry Orchards' (1964), is the world of bohemian Montreal where the author experienced the birth of the counterculture.
