Canadian singer-songwriter, poet, and novelist Leonard Cohen (b. September 21, 1934) is among the most exhilarating creative spirits of the past century.... By the time Bob Dylan rose to fame Cohen already had several volumes of poetry and 2 novels under his belt, including the critically acclaimed Beautiful Losers, which famously led Allen Ginsberg to remark that “Dylan blew everybody’s mind, except Leonard’s.” (https://www.brainpickings.org/2014/07/15/leonard-cohen-paul-zollo-creativity/)
