Synopsis: 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 Californias Mount Baldy, and in Los Angeles, Montreal, and Mumbai. This dazzling collection is enhanced by the authors playful and provocative drawings, which interact in exciting, unexpected ways on the page with poetry that is timeless, meditative, and often darkly humorous. An international sensation, Book of Longing contains all the elements that have brought Cohens artistry with language worldwide recognition.
