Critics Review
A godsend for Cohen fans… A remarkable body of work that takes us back to the earliest days
A godsend for Cohen fans… A remarkable body of work that takes us back to the earliest days * Ottawa Citizen *
A massive record of the poet’s imaginative journey, through beauty, through horror, through the extremes of love and despair, from the deepest abyss of self-abnegation to the rare and necessary moments of ecstasy. The language ranges from the exquisitely beautiful to the darkly obscene, from the romantically inspired to the ironically banal… A poetic record like no other * Toronto Star *
Impressive by any standard * The Globe and Mail *
