Who was Leonard Cohen? He had many identities: novelist, poet, lyricist, musician, Jewish mystic, Buddhist monk, Canadian, Montrealer, lover (but never a husband), father, and perhaps above all, a man searching for something we might call meaning or truth in the world he inhabited. Did he find it? By exploring his identities, we will interpret what Cohen left behind, from a “lullaby for suffering” to the broken Hallelujah of a “manual for living with defeat.” We will begin with a documentary film, I’m Your Man, that includes many of Cohen’s best-known songs performed by other artists, and we will end with the album released before his death, You Want it Darker, which might be described as Cohen having composed and sung is own Kaddish. In between, we will read and discuss, listen and discuss, remembering that: “There's a crack, a crack in everything. That’s how the light gets in.”
