Kurzbeschreibung
A new collection - 20 years in the making - of poetry and original illustrations by the legendary Leonard Cohen that has been hailed by the New York Times as "clear yet steamy, cosmic yet private, both playful and profound."
Beschreibung
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 arrived to critical acclaim, and the long-awaited new collection of poems, along with the simultaneously released documentary "Leonard Cohen: I m Your Man," brought Leonard back into the limelight. Praised for it s "exceptional range" (New York Times) and described as "alive and contradictory" (Los Angeles Weekly), the book contains erotic, playful, and provocative line drawings by the author that interact in exciting and unexpected ways on the page with poetry that is timeless, meditative, and at times darkly humorous. BOOK OF LONGING brings together all the elements that have brought Leonard Cohen s artistry with language worldwide recognition.
He will never untangle Or upgrade The circumstances That fasten him to this loneliness Or bent down with love Comprehend the sudden mercy Which floods the room And dissolves it now In the traditional golden light
From "The Tradition"
Klappentext
Leonard Cohen wrote the poems in Book of Longing ---his first book of poetry in more than twenty years---during his five-year stay at a Zen monastery on Southern California's Mount Baldy, and in Los Angeles, Montreal, and Mumbai.

An international sensation, Book of Longing contains all the elements that have brought Cohen's artistry with language worldwide recognition.
