Published in 1961, The Spice-Box of Earth was the volume which established Leonard Cohen’S reputation as a lyric poet; it remains the most popular single volume of his verse. The language is rich, sensuous and beautiful, but many of Cohen’s darker themes – victimization, loss, cruelty – are nonetheless present. The poems deal with the role of the poet, with his inheritance of the Jewish tradition, and of course with love.
