Book of Longing

Book • 2006
Book of Longing is Leonard Cohen's first new poetry book since 1984's Book of Mercy.

It contains erotic, playful, and provocative poems along with line drawings and artwork by the author.

The poems were written during Cohen's time at a Zen monastery on Mount Baldy in California and during his visits to India in the late 1990s.

The book also includes some lyrics from his albums Ten New Songs and Dear Heather.

The poems are characterized by their timeless, meditative, and sometimes darkly humorous nature.
