Product Details
ISBN: 9780141027562
Author: COHEN, LEONARD
Book of Longing is Leonard Cohen's astonishing new collection of poems, the first since Book of Mercy was published nearly three decades ago.
Leonard Cohen made his name as a poet before he gained worldwide attention as a singer and songwriter. Book of Longing, his latest collection of poetry, was twenty years in the making and written across three distinct locations: Montreal, Mumbai, and during his retirement in Mt Baldy.
Enhanced by Cohen's own playful and provocative illustrations, these poems showcase the full range of one of the most influential and enigmatic writers of his generation.
Praise for Book of Longing
- 'Awe-inspiring. . . Cohen emerges as the wry, sensual mystic his champions have always known he was'
Sunday Telegraph - 'Exceptional. Clear yet steamy, cosmic yet private, both playful and profound. . . as soulful a credo as he has ever put on paper'
New York Times - 'Playful, colourful, erotic. . . brilliant and sharp as flint'
Big Issue - 'Dazzling'
Sunday Herald - 'The best bring an ironic, world-weary sensibility to bear on themes of ageing, sex, sensuality and spirituality'
Financial Times - 'A fine book of poems'
Time Out - 'Cohen maps this wasteland of the heart with humour, and sometimes anger'
Independent
