A video from the CBC which begins with a woman, Patty, reading a review of The Favorite Game. If you want to skip over that, go to the 2:56 mark to hear Leonard Cohen’s comments on the review, on whether the book is autobiographical, on the characters in the book, on reviewers, on being a poet in Canada, on “spreading trouble everywhere” and the creative atmosphere in Montreal.

His speeches returned,
his hours of applause,
weight of foreign medals,
white clothes of too many summers,
girls with whom he shared his power
now old and powerful.
His strategies returned
diagrammed like a geodesic sphere,
He balanced them on his forehead
weaving like a seal.

– From the poem “Death of a Leader” from Flowers for Hitler by Leonard Cohen. (via leonardcohenminute)
