THERE IS A CRACK IN EVERYTHING...

From the early debut in the 1950,s
with a collection of poems to novels
in thé sixties,Leonard Norman Cohen,s
1934-2016 authorship come into the
cloud for his musical creativity,
which is due to the medias uniform
focus on his music production and not
as a author.

Cohens themes around eroticism,religion,
politics,loneliness and love as a general
human,which with his qualitative Language
touched the readers with a poet`s genuine
content to hold out,
even without mercy,
because in his poem the reader finds
no grace or answer,
only a melancholy worship of resignation,
to endure to the end,
and Cohen endured with strategic life,
choices of retreats partly as a
Zen buddhist-monk
and partly in exile in Greece.

Cohen is know`n for his
melancholic depressive states,
which he often expresses in both
lyrics and music,
where beauty is reflected in the sadness.
