A welcome dose of early Leonard Cohen, Parasites of Heaven has been the hardest for me to source here in England. Long out-of-print, it was the one remaining book of the late artist's poetry I hadn't read, and eventually I sourced a reprint from Cohen's native Canada. The book satisfies more for that sense of completion as a fan, rather than any stellar poetry of its own. The lines are fine, and possessing of that romantic, heavenly, forlorn troubadour feeling that Cohen cultivated across a magnificent decades-long career, but there is no real standout poem in this slight volume. The inclusion of 'Suzanne' and 'Avalanche' towards the end of the book give Parasites of Heaven its strongest moments and emphasise that, while his poetry is a pleasant diversion for his more devoted fans, Leonard Cohen's more masterly work was delivered in song. ( ) En este libro, casi un auto de fe, Leonard Cohen parece pretender exorcizar sus dudas y confusiones, en este caso especialmente las religiones, que habrán de acompañarle en el transucurso de toda su obra. Están presente los gérmenes del furor, el desgarramiento e incluso la brutalidad de obras posteriores. Como atractivo añadido, aparecen en él los textos de dos de sus más brillantes canciones: Suzanne, tal vez la más bella balada jamás escrita, y Avalanche. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
To mark the publication of Leonard Cohen's final book, The Flame, McClelland & Stewart is proud to reissue six beautiful editions of Cohen's cherished early works of poetry, many of which are back in print for the first time in decades. A freshly packaged new series for devoted Leonard Cohen fans and those who wish to discover one of the world's most adored and celebrated writers. Originally published by McClelland & Stewart in 1966, Parasites of Heaven came in the wake of the success of Cohen's second novel, Beautiful Losers. While not as ambitious as his three previous collections, Parasites of Heaven is an essential document in Cohen's evolution as it contains poems that would go on to form the basis of some of his most beloved songs, including "Suzanne" and "Avalanche."
