To mark the publication of Leonard Cohen's final book, The Flame, McClelland & Stewart is proud to reissue six beautiful editions of Cohen's cherished early works of poetry, many of which are back in print for the first time in decades. A freshly packaged new series for devoted Leonard Cohen fans and those who wish to discover one of the world's most adored and celebrated writers. Originally published by McClelland & Stewart in 1961, The Spice-Box of Earth was Leonard Cohen's breakout book, announcing the arrival of a major talent, and a popular one--the first edition sold out in less than three months, and one reviewer hailed Cohen as "probably the best young poet in English Canada right now." In his second collection, Cohen deepens his engagement with subjects that would define his career; as biographer Sylvie Simmons argues, "the poems dance back and forth across the border between the holy and the worldly, the elevated and the carnal."… (mehr)
The basis of Cohen's reputation, and a good foundation it is! Clever and sensual poetry well drawn from his Montreal experience. Read it, and, sometimes weep. ( )
*cough* There was a time when I enjoyed Leonard Cohen's first book of poetry but I'm unable to say why that would've been now. Overly saturated in portentous images I had a difficult time making it through the collection. I kept waiting for a poem to arrive around the bend but I only encountered bleating lyrics interspersed with some formal rhyme schemes.
Yet another great collection of Leonard Cohen's poetry. Perhaps that's an unnecessary observation, for has he ever released a bad one? I've read quite a lot of them and never been disappointed. Some are, of course, better than others and The Spice-Box of Earth is one of the best of the stand-alone collections. Going for a compilation like Stranger Music is highly recommended, but you won't go wrong here either. A few of the poems are a bit more religious than I like, and I didn't care for the final piece, 'Lines from My Grandfather's Journal', but the book also contains some of my favourite poems so it balances out.

Místico, profano, obsceno, sarcástico, osado. Estos fueron los calificativos con los que fue recibido este libro en 1961. Desde entonces la gloria literaria de Leonard Cohen estaba asegurada bastantes años antes de grabar su primer disco. ( )
Colección de poemas del cantautor canadiense Leonard Cohen en una edición bilingüe (traducción de Alberto Manzano) de la editorial Visor sin introducción ni notas a pie de página. El libro fue publicado en inglés en 1961, momento en el que fue calificado por distintos críticos como "místico", "profano", "obsceno", "sarcástico" u "osado", y la verdad es que tiene un poco de cada una de esas cosas, además de alguna que otra presencia de la cultura judía que marca en cierto modo parte de la personalidad del autor. Por lo demás, la temática es de lo más diversa y variopinta. [Font: http://lecturasdispersas.blogspot.com/2010/08/la-caja-de-especias-de-la-tierra.h...( )
