Abstract
On the day that Leonard Cohen’s death was announced, pilgrimages sprang up almost instantly in Montreal. Stacey Engels narrates the pilgrim body in ‘From the Dark Green Hill to Our Lady of the Harbour’, bringing her reader along to her old haunts and places of significance to the poet. In her travelogue-style vignettes, even a sausage sandwich becomes a sacred relic when mingled with community and intention.
