Poetry in Ireland?

[Ghoti]

I'm pretty new to the forum and a big fan of Leonards music and any poetry I can find on the net but I was wondering if anybody knows where I could find some of his poetry or novels in Ireland. I've looked in every book shop I can Find with no luck and I was hoping there were some Irish Cohen Enthusiasts out there who could give me a hand.

Have you tried the libraries? If there isn't anything on the shelves they will often have some books in storage that they will retrieve for you to borrow. Some books are still available to buy(eg. "Stranger Music") if you order them from a large bookstore like Waterstones or W H Smith. Or try the online booksellers like amazon.

Shopping online is really the answer.

Thanks a lot, I never considered the library and i'm sure i can ask one of the chain stores to order some for me. Unfortunatly I'm a little bit lacking of a credit card which makes it difficult for online buying and all of that jiving around. In the meantime you can post some of your favourites for me to keep me going.

Don't forget new poems at The Blackening Pages of the Files, and also a selection of poems there on the Files, at Adi's Fingerprints.

Hi Gothi,
Tower records in Dublin have "Stranger Music" and "The songs of Leonard Cohen" upstairs in the music book section. also Hughes & Hughes on Dawson street as far as I can recall.

All the best

Hi Ghoti,
The poetry section had the Book of Mercy last time I looked. The others were in the Music biog section. Im from Limerick origanally and have been living in Dublin since "92 after finishing college in Galway.

Good hunting on the book front.
