Book Of Longing by Leonard Cohen

Book of Longing is the first new poetry book by Leonard Cohen since 1984's Book of Mercy. First published in 2006 by McClelland and Stewart, Book of Longing contains 167 previously unpublished poems and drawings, mostly written at a Zen monastery on Mount Baldy in California, where Cohen lived from 1994 to 1999, and in India, which he visited regularly during the late 1990s.

This new collection--20 years in the making--of poetry and original illustrations by the legendary Leonard Cohen is timed to coincide with the release of the feature-length documentary, "I'm Your Man."
