Anthony G. Martinez
Hey, I love writing and exploring stories I have created in my head. Poetry started this journey of creating stories in various genres. The dreams and things I’ve seen are what inspire me to create worlds you probably haven’t even thought could be possible. But as I write this writing wasn’t my first love.

Buy books on Amazon
Cohen's earliest songs (many of which appeared on the 1968 album Songs of Leonard Cohen) were rooted in European folk music melodies and instrumentation, sung in a high baritone. The 1970s were a musically restless period in which his influences broadened to encompass pop, cabaret, and world music. Since the 1980s he has typically sung in lower registers (bass baritone, sometimes bass), with accompaniment from electronic synthesizers and female backing singers.
His work often explores the themes of religion, isolation, sexuality, and complex interpersonal relationships.
