In the decades since he recorded his first album, Leonard Cohen has evolved into an international cult figure--and one of the most literate, daring, and affecting poet-songwriters in the world. Stranger Music presents a magnificent cross-section of Cohen's work--including the legendary songs "Suzanne," "Sisters of Mercy," "Bird on a Wire," "Famous Blue Raincoat," "I'm Your Man," and "The Future"; selections from such books as Flowers for Hitler, Beautiful Losers, and Death of a Lady's Man, and eleven previously unpublished poems. This volume demonstrates definitively that Cohen is a writer of dazzling intelligence and a force that transcends genres.

Received the hardback when I was trying to find the paperback version. Still made a great gift though for a friend who was in the hospital at the time. I've bought and lost two copies of this book now myself now but oh well. Having discovered his work long ago in high school, I didn't stumble across this book till shortly after my college graduation. I'm glad I did.
Anyone looking to explore L. Cohen's work though cannot go wrong starting with this book. It covers the man's best known material and dozens of lesser known works as well. There is a variety of subject matters, tones, and even moods covered in Leonard Cohen's work. I would dare say there is probably something here for everyone. Really good way to expand one's knowledge of what "poetry" and "spoken word" is capable of being (and should be) for the reader, the writer, and the speaker.

Reading Cohen provides great inspiration for generating new song ideas; words and phrases, yes, but also look at how he structures his songs (usually unconventional).

I had a high school friend call me in my 30s. Hadn't been in touch for years. She said, plaintively,
"Hi, I just had to talk to someone who knew who Leonard Cohen was." :> Maybe they are easier to
find now. That was in the 1980s.

He's a remarkable man and his poems and songs are very dip-in-able, again and again.
It is inspiring that he can trust his pen, his paper and his heart/mind to just lay it out there.

Appreciatively.

A very good collection of Cohen's poems and lyrics. Well worth it for exposure to some of his more obscure work. I only marked one star off because the book has absolutely no notes, foreward or introduction, setting no context for the poems.

I was introduced to Leonard Cohen's work very recently through Alexandra Burke's Hallelujah and realised that the lyrics had far more depth and subtlety than most 'pop' songs. I wish I had 'discovered' him earlier. This book is packed full of his poems and lyrics. As he avoids cliches and the obvious, you have to work at the layers of meaning (as with most good modern poetry), but the reward is well worth the effort.
