In the Waiting Room with Leonard Cohen - Tony Hoagland
Hi, Apologies about this. Only part of this poem is available on The Paris Review homepage. Perhaps the author might post the poem. It leaves me intrigued. Avenues open up in looking at the author's work. As Willy Wonka says "so little to do, so much time. No strike that, so much to do, so little ti...

Hi Lonndubh, 9 years to the date since you started this topic. Thank you for keeping P. K's genius alive on the Forum. My English teacher forever quoted Patrick K's lines from the preface to the Collected Poems~ "But I lost my messianic compulsion. I sat on the bank of the Grand Canal in the summer ...

Re: Leonard introduces Jennifer Warnes Munich 1987
Hi, Perhaps this recording is not new to most, or maybe the understandable excitement around Montreal has buried this but I think Leonard's intro from about one minute 30 sec. to 7.00 is classic. The entire recording is worth listening to but most certainly the first seven minutes, but I might be wr...
