Rory V. Skoumas (Author)
Rory fell in love with poetry in his thirties. His influences include Charles Bukowski, Charles Baudelaire, Leonard Cohen, Haris Vlavianos, Tzanatos Tsimaras, Zbigniew Herbert and Harry Mathews among others.His original works include "Leonard's Dojo: Poems in Honor of Leonard Cohen", "Poems for Hank: A Tribute to Charles Bukowski", Resign in Stone: Poems in Honor of Tzanatos Tsimaras and "Weed Poems: Stoner Poetry not for the Masses". He is currently working on an anthology of divorce poems.There comes a time when one sits down and writes a poem for the first time; for some there is no going back. Soon I would write poems at the bar, in the gym, during nature walks, in the tube. I would write in the shower, if my notebook was waterproof. Charles Bukowski taught me that poetry could be direct and unambiguous. Charles Baudelaire showed that you are allowed to get philosophical in your verses. Leonard Cohen reminds one that poetry should rhyme every once in a while.Read more about this authorRead less about this author

If you love Leonard Cohen this edition is for you!Leonard’s Dojo: Poems in Honor of Leonard Cohen is an homage to our favorite Canadian poet, as one of the most significant artists of our time. Most of the 28 poems in this collection are written from Leonard Cohen’s point of view as he guides us through life.

Bear hunting, prison breaking, survival in the desert and in the battlefield are all lessons taught at Leonard’s Dojo. Verses in this collection rhyme, never straying too far from the themes of flexibility, resilience, perseverance, handling adversity and learning to manage one’s emotions.

Following are excerpts of poems in the book. I’m not weary of deceptionfor it always will fall through.

In my journey of convictionI’m realistic and I’m blue. ---In the context of survivalyou’ll be ruthless, you’ll be coldthe occasional act of kindness showsthat you haven’t lost your soul---I burnt down my reflectionput an old man in its place,an advantage I always cherishedfor it helped me lose with grace.
