Josh Radnor Leonard Cohen is my hero. From the hedonism of Chelsea St. to the solitude of the mountain, he wrote about the world in a voice so distinctly "Cohen" that his name is now an adjective. Thanks for sharing the story.

“My father the Godly, he was the chosen. My father almighty, full of good fear. My father exhausted, my beloved. My father among the roses and thorns. My father rose, my father thorn.” Li-Young Lee

Joe Kloc's amazing poem, "82 Sentences, Each Taken from the ‘Last Statement’ of a Person Executed by the State of Texas Since 1984," is a cento + documentary form + archival history that feels like a poem of witness. A docu-cento? A must-read. nybooks.com/articles/2024/…
