Revered then virtually forgotten, Leonard Cohen has proved a lasting phenomenon.

One of the most influential songwriters of our time, reconciling literature and poetry with popular music.

In the 1990s Leonard Cohen's music career appeared to have died. Cohen was in his seventies by then and no one expected new songs, never mind a worldwide tour that broke records for attendance.

While many discovered his work during this resurgence, long-standing fans had never deserted him. His combination of poetry and soulful song had reached into their hearts when they were young and his connection with them never weakened.

As a teenager author, Marc Hendrickx, wrote to Cohen and later the singer turned up on Marc's doorstep. This is Marc's journey through the work of Cohen. There are no conclusions, simply perspective and reflections.
