Sexual love
Tags:
“(…) the poet, Layton affirmed, can find salvation only in sexual love,
a message that strongly appealed to the young Cohen. Layton was responsible
for strong-arming Cohen into the wonderful, boisterous, in-your-face world
of serious poetry, where dedication to the art was all, and all of you had
to be put into the work. The quest for bold experiences was the poet’s
finest teacher, Layton preached, and in Cohen he had a willing disciple.”
