And if the video is not the best, and if the audio occasionally mixed, it is enough to see that k.d.lang remains extraordinary. Here, in excellent voice, adding to her various renderings of Hallelujah, this time, live from New Brunswick, from her

Reflections Overview

Preliminary reflections on The Hallelujah Effect.  

See too, including a reference to my article on Leonard Cohen, 'Hallelujah and Atonement,' Dr. 'H. Guy''s Cohencentric blog post from two years back.

Finally (although it has taken so very long), the affordability question of The Hallelujah Effect has been addressed.  Sort of.
Paperback version from Routledge as of October, 2016 (note that the price is discounted to 27.16 through their website). 

Mysteriously, Amazon (which many people prefer for ease of use) apparently sends the book by way the proverbial slow boat from China (more likely Singapore), promising the paperback in two months: two months! Routledge takes a few days.

Post 2016

after a year that took Leonard Cohen (1934-2016) himself and, 
as it is now more than a year to remember, 
the very great Alan Rickman (1946-2016),
these the world misses 
Cohen at the end of love, 
darker
and Alan Rickman 
always
as if the voice, as if desire
could touch death  
outside the frame.

But I also miss
nor am I the only one
my teachers 
co-conspiritor-friend David Blair Allison (1944-2016) 
and also I would say 
as very close to me, 
Bill Richardson (1920-2016), 
Heidegger icon who kept legions 
convinced of their friendship 
ever unique and only 
and, Susanne Joshua, also 2016 saw her go
younger than I
friends count age like sisters to the day 
she was
my best woman, when I married a different Bill,
who lives still 
friend since university, 
from the first, the minute I arrived
door next door to mine: Susan Nitzberg, 
cracking jokes, naming a blessing.

But I have not named all those lost this year
all names I knew, all friends, all colleagues, 
all unraveled here
nor could I name those famous and unfamous
not known, not named
all of them
for ever.
  
very informal, very post, 
unstructured Hallelujah, with elisions,
like a soft jacket, 
and old jokes, but in LA, 
where Cohen lived
and died
