Second Return To New York
In 1981, Cohen again returned to New York, and moved in with his mother in an Upper West Side apartment. In 1982 he married Carolina Gosselin, and they had a daughter, Lakshmi Cohen, before divorcing in 1989.
Cohen continued to travel during the 1980s, making trips to Ethiopia, Japan, and back to India where he documented on film the great kumbh mela festival, the largest spiritual gathering on the planet in the film Kings with Straw Mats. In the latter part of the decade Synergetic Press published On Feet of Gold, a book of selected poems.
Cohen also worked as a contributing editor of Third Rail magazine, a review of international arts and literature based in Los Angeles.
