I contacted Mr. Cohen's managers over several months by email and fax, with a request to use a lyric as an epigraph for a poem in a manuscript that will soon go to the publisher. To date I have received no response. What is my next step?
Thanks for your help.

Let me see now....

Any lyric of any artist, if you split them apart, are words that come from any dictionary.

Right?

Technically, of course. I'm concerned about not infringing on copyright.

Send email to Mrs. Michelle Rice at mrice@koryrice.com. She his the lawyer who takes care of the copyright issues.

I have contacted her twice, once by email and once by fax. I will try one last time. Thanks.
