The God Abandons Anthony by Constantine Cavafy and Alexandra Leaving by Leonard Cohen and Sharon Robinson.
On a prompt at An Tobar a while back on the poetry of Leonard Cohen I chose 'Alexandra Leaving' and it is one fine poem. That the inspiration came from Constantine Cavafy's poem he mentions in an interview somewhere. Here Brendan Tannan reads both and in the next one up Theo Dorgan gives them a mention a well. For the background on Constantine Cavafy please go to Wikipedia and Youtube and for the poems above with thanks to Brendan Tannan.
