FROM THE COVER === Stranger Music: Selected Poems and Songs celebrates the astonishing career of Leonard Cohen, revered around the world as one of the great visionaries, writers, performers, and most consistently daring songwriters. Cohen’s career began in 1956 with the publication of Let Us Compare Mythologies, and he has since published eight books of poems – including The Spice-Box of Earth, Death of a Lady’s Man, and Book of Mercy– and has made numerous albums, becoming one of the most popular and influential artists in Canada, the United States, and Europe. His first record, The Songs of Leonard Cohen, released in 1967, was a remarkable musical début and introduced some of his most famous songs, including “Suzanne,” “Hey, That’s No Way to Say Goodbye,” and “Sisters of Mercy.” From then, and with each subsequent album, he earned the status as one of the most dazzlingly literate songwriters of our time. Stranger Music brings together for the first time a comprehensive selection of Leonard Cohen’s song lyrics and his poetry, including some poems not previously published. This landmark edition demonstrates the range and depth of Cohen’s work, revealing an extraordinary gift of language that speaks with rare clarity, passion, and timelessness. Synopsis An extensive collection of the poems and lyrics of the masterly Canadian poet, writer, and musician, STRANGER MUSIC incorporates material from four decades of Leonard Cohen's work. Combining his fascination for women with his ongoing explorations of Zen Buddhism and Judaism, poems like "Letter" ("How you murdered your family/Means nothing to me/As your mouth moves across my body") and "Lovers" ("And at the hot ovens they/Cunningly managed a brief/Kiss before the soldier came/To knock out her golden teeth") contain strong elements of eroticism and violence, incorporating subjects like jealousy, sex, religion, and the Holocaust. Cohen's earliest verses are suffused with seductive energy, while later works, like the lyrics to "First We Take Manhattan," possess a world-weary ache as well as a sense of impatience and unfulfilled purpose that point to the artist's awareness of mortality. An active participant in the anthology's publication, Cohen also appears to have taken the opportunity to substantially revise work included here from his collection of poems, DEATH OF A LADY'S MAN. Cerebral, passionate, obsessive, and sometimes chilling, STRANGER MUSIC is an indispensable introduction to the work of this fascinating artist.
