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 came to worldwide attention as a singer and songwriter. Book of Longing, his new collection of poetry, was twenty years in the making and written in Montreal, Mumbai and during his retirement in Mt Baldy. Enhanced by Cohen's own playful and provocative illustrations, these poems show the full range of one of the most influential and enigmatic writers of his generation.

'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

Cohen's career began in 1956 with the publication of Let Us Compare Mythologies, and he has since published nine books of poems, and has made numerous internationally successful recordings. In a career spanning fifty years, Leonard Cohen has become one of the western world's most popular and innovative creative artists.

Klappentext

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 came to worldwide attention as a singer and songwriter. Book of Longing, his new collection of poetry, was twenty years in the making and written in Montreal, Mumbai and during his retirement in Mt Baldy. Enhanced by Cohen's own playful and provocative illustrations, these poems show the full range of one of the most influential and enigmatic writers of his generation.

Buchrückseite

Book of Longing is Leonard Cohen's first book of new poetry since Book of Mercy was published two decades ago. It collects Cohen's poetry written between the 1980s and the present, and also includes his wonderfully witty and sensuous illustrations, including numerous playful self-portraits. The illustrations interact with, and complement, the poetry in unexpected and fascinating ways. Book of Longing demonstrates the range and depth of Cohen's work, revealing an extraordinary gift of language and visual art that speak with rare clarity, passion and timelessness.

5,0 von 5 Sternen Wonderful collection of poems
Rezension aus Deutschland vom 23. Juli 2016
Verifizierter Kauf
Leonard Cohen needs no introduction. His lyrics and poetry are mostly interesting with some exceptions that are either seemingly irrelevant or just unintelligible (to me at least).

This book makes a really nice present for anyone who likes poetry in general. I gifted it to my best friend who doesn't even know Leonard Cohen. She liked it a lot and whe discussed many of the poems, their philosphy, their meaning and interpretations. It's a great conversation starter :)

Leonard Cohen sometimes captures a simple feeling into a few lines of text, and he does it exceptionally well for readers who are familiar with this particular feeling. You recognize, you feel with him, it awakens something in your psyche.

One example. If it's for you, you'll understand well :)

5,0 von 5 Sternen Poetry in it's raw, pure, intimate, and best form.
Rezension aus Deutschland vom 17. Juni 2016
Verifizierter Kauf
The famous singer and song writer Leonard Cohen, invites us into his world of beauty, women, and lonesome hours. An emotional journey, honest and direct, still, and sometimes lost. Many poems have a beautiful rhythm, where you can imagine his superb low voice singing the verses. The book also contains delightful drawings. A pure delight to read.

Ich bin wirklich ein großer Fan von Cohen, habe seine Bücher verschlungen. Allerdings ist diese Sammlung aus Gedichten und Zeichnungen leider nicht sein Geld wert. Ich denke nicht, dass alles geschriebene eines Autors, der selbst mehrere gute Bücher verfasst hat, in den Himmel gelobt werden muss.

I'm a Leonard Cohen fan and have always loved "The Book of Longing". Hearing his poetry read by the author is a real treat. I've listened to it so often I've actually memorized several poems. I recommend it.

5,0 von 5 Sternen Some of Cohen's very best work!
Rezension aus den Vereinigten Staaten vom 9. März 2018
Verifizierter Kauf
I've considered myself a Leonard Cohen fan for many years now, but I often wonder why.

I don't appreciate or admire the famous "ladies' man" aspect of his career, and don't even enjoy listening to any of his music before the late 80's, when his youthful, boyish voice seemed to have oozed (or cooed) this persona. This is unfair of me--he also wrote some wonderful songs and literature in that time. But I find his early career can't compare with his later--confirming my growing hypothesis that artists generally improve with age (Beethoven with his Ninth Symphony, Bach with his Goldberg Variations and Art of Fugue, T.S. Eliot with his Four Quartets, etc.)--and I'm not really interested in his work published before "THE FUTURE". (And I for one prefer his aged, gravelly bass voice to his earlier, folk-singer treble.)

All that I write as a preamble to my review: This present book of poetry is a delight, and seems to get better each time I read it.

I recently re-read his "STRANGER MUSIC: SELECTED POEMS AND SONGS", which I remember liking much more some years ago, only to find myself questioning his powers of expression and articulation, in the past. (That collection includes pieces from the beginning of his career but only up to "THE FUTURE" album.) I seldom felt moved by or sympathy with the poems, songs, and prose in that collection; much of it seemed Dadaistic, even, whether Cohen intended such or not. And not in a complimentary way.

But "THE BOOK OF LONGING" is "an odd collection of jazz riffs, pop-art jokes, religious kitsch and muffled prayer," as he describes his novel "BEAUTIFUL LOSERS" apparently, in "A Note to the Chinese Reader" (somewhat enigmatically included in this present book). There are Cohen's own drawings (in a variety of mediums) scattered liberally throughout the book, most of them poems in themselves (with script or text accompanying them). But the sheer variety of material is what makes this interesting. There are humor, pathos, romance, tragedy, optimism, pessimism, spirituality, respectful irreverence, clarity, obscurity, prose, poetry, and visual art in this book.

Perhaps most importantly: Cohen has developed a very smart sense of humor over the years, and does not spare himself. And these pieces showcase this. Whereas his past material frequently contained an often repugnant self-centeredness and vanity, his more recent works (such as this volume) are lighter (in the best sense of that word); he must've learned well from his Zen training, however much he himself would disagree (and does disagree, in some of these poems!)

I think that most of his best work is contained in this book. It is a sort of companion to his "TEN NEW SONGS" album, which features several of these poems set to music. Furthermore, his collaboration with Philip Glass and Glass's singers and musicians on the "BOOK OF LONGING" album of music--featuring many more of these pieces set to music--is also very interesting.
