I’m not sure who the singer was the first time I ever heard the song “Suzanne”, but it wasn’t Leonard Cohen. I adored it. A couple of decades passed before I realized Leonard Cohen wrote the song. Later, I found out it had originally been a poem.
Who better than to fill in more of the gaps, than Holly. A brilliant poet in her own right, she has inspired me greatly.

I first heard Judy Collins sing it. I love your drawing, Resa!
Thank you Merril. I felt inspired one night.
