it was amazing
bookshelves: poetry

In this book we are offered a glimpse of Cohen's genius.
It's a conversation, in simple terms, where in the first part Cohen is wondering, asking, trying to find an answer, and in the second part he turns the conversation into a prayer.
If you have this edition, make sure to read the index of first lines presented at the end which you will find structured as a poem. I don't know if it was on purpose, but it's worth it.
