To mark the publication of Leonard Cohen's final book, The Flame, McClelland & Stewart is proud to reissue six beautiful editions of Cohen's cherished early works of poetry, many of which are back in print for the first time in decades. A freshly packaged new series for devoted Leonard Cohen fans and those who wish to discover one of the world's most adored and celebrated writers. Originally published by McClelland & Stewart in 1964, Flowers for Hitler is Leonard Cohen's third collection of poetry, in which he first experiments with his self-consciously "anti-art" gestures: an attempt, in his own words, to move "from the world of the golden-boy poet into the dung pile of the front-line writer." Haunted by the image of the Nazi concentration camps, the poems are deliberately ugly, tasteless, and confrontational, setting out to destroy the image of Cohen as a sweet romantic poet. Its author was confident in his new direction, telling his publisher at the time that the collection was a masterpiece, and "there had] never been a book like this, prose or poetry, written in Canada."… (mer)

Flowers for Hitler is not one of Leonard Cohen's strongest poetry collections. An early attempt to develop a thematic through-line of irreverence towards historical horrors such as the Holocaust and Hiroshima seems to be abandoned, and when it is it can be hard to jump from one loose, experimental poem to the next. The book has some good lines in isolation and a few strong poems, but these are the ones regularly plucked for Cohen's later 'greatest hits' selections such as Stranger Music. There's little left behind to make Flowers for Hitler an appealing prospect for anyone other than a Cohen completist. ( )

The poems are a mainstay of Cohen's reputation. These with his other three collections are the canon, ecept for the later song lyrics. The general themes of these are the innate failures of human character, vengeance and intolerance, as well as several on the banality of evil. ( )

El autor hizo el siguiente comentario acerca de esta obra: Hace algún tiempo este libro se habría llamado "Sol para Napoleón", y antes aún hubiera sido llamado "Murallas para Genghis Khan. ¿Hace falta acaso añadir algo más?. ( )

Pues bien en “Flores para Hitler” se pueden encontrar pequeñas delicias de todos los temas. A diferencia de grandes poetas que se dedican a publicar monográficos de amor, monográficos políticos o monotemas varios, este libro es capaz de tocar un poco de cada con una ironía desgarradora y mordaz.

Aquí os transcribo uno de ellos para abrir el apetito, probablemente no el mejor, pero si el que más me hizo sonreír.

Finalmente llamé

Finalmente llamé a las personas de las que no quería saber nada
después de la tercera señal me dije
lo dejaré sonar otras cinco veces, entonces qué haré
El teléfono es un magnífico instrumento
pero yo jamás aprendí a utilizarlo demasiado bien
cinco llamadas más y colgaré
sé donde hay que poner el aparato, eso por lo menos lo sé.
El teléfono era negro rebordeado de plata
la cabina era más acogedora que el drugstore
había un montón de cremas y tijeras y tubos
que necesitaba para mi cuerpo
estaba interesado en muchas gotas para la tos
me parece que el encargado odiaba
su teléfono y a la gente como yo
que pide cambio tan educadamente
decidí seguir por la misma calle
y entrar en el cuarto drugstore
y llamarles de nuevo.
