Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen (1934-2016), born in Montreal and raised in Westmount in a family of the Jewish bourgeoisie, garment makers and pillars of the Shaar Hashomayim synagogue, published his first collection of verse in 1956 and at first lived on an inheritance and grants, between Montreal and the Greek island of Hydra. Unable to live by his books, he turned to song and released his first record in 1967. Ordained a Zen monk at Mount Baldy in 1996, and robbed by the woman who managed his affairs, he returned to the stage at the age of seventy-three for worldwide tours. He died in Los Angeles.
