Internationally celebrated for his writing and his music, Leonard Cohen is one of the great writers, performers, and most consistently daring artists of our time. Book of Longing is Leonard Cohen’s eagerly awaited new collection of poems, following his highly acclaimed 1984 title, Book of Mercy, and his hugely successful 1993 publication, Stranger Music. Containing erotic, playful, and provocative original line drawings by the author, this book brings together all the elements that have elevated Leonard Cohen’s artistry with language to worldwide recognition. He will never untangle Or upgrade The circumstances That fasten him to this loneliness Or bent down with love Comprehend the suddent mercy Which floods the room And dissolves it now In the traditional golden light From “The Tradition”
