Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen (21 September 1934 to 7 November 2016) was a Canadian poet and singer-songwriter, which is exactly how the Open Library author record describes him. That record credits him with more than one hundred works in its catalogue and tags them with subjects such as Canadian poetry, poetry by a single author, popular music, fiction and Montreal, so his written output runs from verse collections to prose as well as to song lyrics. The title it lists first is The Favourite Game. This entry places him with the North American literary tradition because the record ties him to Canada. Genre, movement, influence and award connections remain to be captured from further sources.
