Summary A strikingly beautiful book of meditations, prayers, psalms, contemplative texts, which efface the author's ego in deference to a higher presence which seems in equal parts Hebrew G-d, Zen Master, and Poetic Muse.  A key book for understanding the later Cohen's commitment to monastic retreat.
