Interior Landscapes and the Public Realm: Contingent Mediations in a Speech and a Song by Leonard Cohen
http://www.uwo.ca/english/canadianpoetry/cpjrn/vol33/siemerling.htm
“How are ‘we’ to locate our own listening selves with respect to this form of address? Are’we’ to think of ourselves as being on the speaker’s side? Are ‘we’ addressed as hisadversaries? If, as some theorists have suggested, we are hailed as listeners or readers tooccupy certain subject positions, who is calling out to us? Is this, to use a formulation byCohen, the ‘leader of a government-in-exile’ who addresses us as hissubjects, a voice that speaks for a group, or perhaps conveys a communal understandinglike the priest that Cohen’s name signifies literally in Hebrew (a fact Cohen sometimesalludes to)? Or do we face an elusive self that offers no identification, that mocks us fromoutside established or representable meaning, leaving us with the kind of unsolvable riddle that is meant to lead the student of Zen to enlightenment, a Koan? Are we being hailed by Koan/Cohen?”

Re-membering the Love Song Ambivalence and Cohen’s “Take This Waltz”
http://www.uwo.ca/english/canadianpoetry/cpjrn/vol33/diehl-jones.htm
“In ‘Take This Waltz,’ Cohen — singer as lover — plays the potential of quotation, walks face-first into cliché, mines the written-over to release the sweet taste of after. He re-members the love song. And that remembering, curiously enough, is permeated — and permitted — by ambivalence, ambi-valence, the lure of more than one position at the same moment. Ambivalence rather than irony: not one thing understood to mean something else, but rather the irresolvable tension of more than one meaning signifying simultaneously.”
