Maybe, but this collection is a beautiful compilation that shows Cohen’s many talents in a different light. ( ) As the title indicates, this book embraces poems and selections from the notebooks Cohen kept all his life, but is also illustrated with many of his self-portraits. Satisfyingly, it concludes the speech he made in 2011 when accepting the Prince of Asturias award in Spain, in which he explains how a young Spaniard taught him to play guitar. It's a fabulous collection of Cohen's distinctive dark love. I started by listening to an audio version before obtaining a print copy that I could peruse at my own pace. Either is highly recommended. If I didn't have your love If the sun would lose its light And we lived an endless night And there was nothing left That you could feel That’s how it would be What the world would seem to me If I didn’t have your love To make it real A selection of Cohen's work that sometimes reaches the sublime and other times falls short. Nonetheless, there are some great pieces in here for the gander and, for anyone interested in Cohen's work or in poetry, this will serve as a great primer to the rest of Cohen's oeuvre and expand their knowledge, and appreciation, of both the poet and poetry itself. It is worth the read. 3.5. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Auszeichnungen
A collection of lyrics, poems, notebook sketches, and self-portraits maps the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee's singular creative journey through the weeks just prior to his death.
"The Flame is the final work from Leonard Cohen, the revered poet and musician whose fans span generations and whose work is celebrated throughout the world. Featuring poems, excerpts from his private notebooks, lyrics, and hand-drawn self-portraits, The Flame offers an unprecedentedly intimate look inside the life and mind of a singular artist. A reckoning with a life lived deeply and passionately, with wit and panache, The Flame is a valedictory work. 'This volume contains my father's final efforts as a poet,' writes Cohen's son, Adam Cohen, in his foreword. 'It was what he was staying alive to do, his sole breathing purpose at the end.' Leonard Cohen died in late 2016. But 'each page of paper that he blackened,' in the words of his son, 'was lasting evidence of a burning soul.'"--Dust jacket.
