Cover Story: Does Leonard Cohen count as a “poet” on Heidegger’s terms—in desolation? Read with reference to gnosticism as well as pluralism (whose deities? as Nietzsche asked), this essay addresses the allure of Cohen’s musical rendezvous with eros and occasion: what is needed to grasp the forelock of Kairos (he-god of chance)? Reading the dark night of the soul in terms of Heidegger’s complex authenticity and “thought of death”, Cohen’s poetry brings us to the religious in its secular and its esoteric breadth—but whose religion? Posing this question in terms of Heidegger’s “What are Poets For?” is to set Cohen alongside Rilke but in tension with Hölderlin’s Syrian in Bread and Wine but also the older gods of Nature and Art. Cohen’s “darker” turn is painful and reflexive: “we kill the flame”—a poet in dark times as we face them, together and alone. View this paper
