English poet Roger Green left the safety of God, country, and whiskey to immerse himself in an austere and sober life on the Greek Island of Hydra. But when Green discovered that his terrace overlooked the garden of sixties balladeer Leonard Cohen, he became obsessed with Cohens songs, wives, and banana tree. Hydra starts with a poem the author wrote and recited for his fifty-seventh birthday (borrowing the meter of Cohens "Suzanne," and ripe with references to the song), with Cohens ex-partner Suzanne, who may or may not be the subject of Cohens song, in the audience. By turns playful and philosophic, Greens unconventional memoir tells the story of his journey down the rabbit hole of obsession, as he confronts the meaning of poetry, history, and his own life. Beginning as a poetic meditation upon Leonard Cohens bananas, Greens bardic pilgrimage takes the reader on various twists and turns until, at last, the poet accepts the joy of accepting his fate.
