Leonard Cohen is celebrated for his music, his lyrics, and his books, which have been read by generations of readers. The poems in Book of Longing, his first new volume of poems in twenty years, were written on Mr. Baldy and in Los Angeles, Montreal, and Mumbai. Beautifully designed, this dazzling collection is enhanced by playful and provocative drawings and decorations by the author, which interact in exciting and unexpected ways on the page with poetry that is timeless, meditative, often darkly humorous. Already an international sensation, the book contains all the elements that have brought Leonard Cohen's artistry with language worldwide recognition.
