A magnificent hardcover collection of song lyrics and poems from across the storied career of one of the most daring and affecting poet-songwriters in the world.

In the more than half century since his first book of poems was published, Leonard Cohen has evolved into an international cult figure who transcends genres and generations. This anthology contains a cross section of his five decades of influential work, including such legendary songs as "Suzanne," "Sisters of Mercy," "Bird on the Wire," "Famous Blue Raincoat," and "I'm Your Man" and searingly memorable poems from his many acclaimed poetry collections, including Flowers for Hitler, Beautiful Losers, and Death of a Lady's Man. Encompassing the erotic and the melancholy, the mystical and the sardonic, this volume showcases a writer of dazzling intelligence and live-wire emotional immediacy."

Everyman's Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free cream-colored paper, with full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, European-style half-round spines, and a full-color illustrated jacket.

About Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen (1934–2016) was born in Westmount, Quebec, and published his first poetry collection, Let Us Compare Mythologies (Contact Press, 1956), as part of the McGill Poetry Series while an undergraduate. The Spice-Box of Earth (McClelland and Stewart, 1961) and Flowers for Hitler (1964) followed before he turned to music, releasing his debut album in 1967. He received the Prince of Asturias Award for Literature in 2011 and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2008. Appointed an Officer of the Order of Canada in 1991, he was elevated to Companion, the order's higher grade, in 2003.
