Summary Book of Longing is Cohen’s eagerly awaited new collection of poems. It contains erotic, playful, and provocative line drawings and artwork on every page, by the author, which interact in exciting and unexpected ways on the page with poetry that is timeless, meditative, and at times darkly humorous. The book brings together all the elements that have brought Leonard Cohen’s artistry with language worldwide recognition.

Poems in this collection have been written at the Zen Center on Mount Baldy, or in Mumbai, India, Montreal or Los Angeles.

Many of the poems and drawings have been previously presented on The Blackening Pages , a special section of this site.
