Love Shows: the Collected Works of Lala Volume III Laura Washington

The Works of Lala at the turn of the millennium have been clearly influenced by such poets as William Shakespeare, Edgar Allen Poe, Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen. The love of the language makes it possible to describe an experience in such a way that one does not feel alone like a strange ethereal creature. The poet then becomes a friend somewhere in space and time, a kindred spirit, with recognition of a lonely circumstance. Like a line from "The Stranger Song" by Leonard Cohen, "We'll meet tomorrow if you choose upon the shore beneath the bridge that they are building on some endless river."
