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.
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
