Selected Poems, 1956-1968
AuthorLeonard Cohen
ISBN0771022093
If it were possible to read with your eyes closed, then it would be easy to imagine oneself in a smokey sixties coffee house surrounded by black turtlenecked beatniks snapping their fingers in cool approval. At first anyway. Dig deeper and you'll find there is much more here.

1,000 Years of Irish Poetry
