Happy Birthday, Leonard

Today is Leonard Cohen's 75th.



I had the good fortune to discover Leonard Cohen (as a poet, only later starting to hear his music) shortly after moving to Los Angeles in the 60s, when I came upon in a small bookstore what has become perhaps my most favorite piece of his poetry, "Marita":

Marita/please find me/i am almost 30
