From TVO's Public Archive: Barbara Gowdy interviews legendary Canadian singer-songwriter, musician, poet and novelist, Leonard Cohen in 1993.

Thanks! What a fascinating discussion, revealing some wonderful insight into Leonard's incredible depth as a song-writer!

Thanks Linda,

For posting this short interview. It would be wonderful if you could find the whole one - if it actually does exist! But many thanks for this

EDIT: I have just found this as a written interview on Dr H Guy's site:

A transcript of the full interview was published in 1994 in the book “One on One: The Imprint Interviews” (edited by Leanna Crouch and published by Somerville House Publishing) and is now available at the phenomenally useful Speaking Cohen site: Leonard Cohen By Barbara Gowdy.

Dr H Guy now has another longer video link to this:

I wish there was a way to keep it - a wonderful interview and a great insight to his explanation of The Future album.

Thanks Allan
