The Flame: Poems Notebooks Lyrics Drawings by Leonard Cohen

5.0

I loved this book like nothing else. I carried it with my everywhere for weeks after finishing it, I even wrote notes in the book (a sin by my standards) but I did it because I loved this work so much. I read it at work, I read it before sleeping and I read it over and over.

As always Leonard Cohen has a type of poetic music that is in all of his words. Not a word seems out of place or wasted. Each page flows into the next with such ease. Shout out to that 1990 Christian Slater film for introducing me to Cohen when I was 14.
