Product Description:
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.

I love this book, I sent it to a friend and she loved it too. Much of it is peppered with little Zen-like Buddhist concepts, if you're into eastern schools of thought, you will get a lot out of this book. Nothing like a lovesick Buddhist, right?
