The Flame (Cohen Leonard); Canongate, 2019

The Flame is the final work from Leonard Cohen, the revered poet and musician whose fans span generations and whose work is celebrated throughout the world. Featuring poems, excerpts from his private notebooks, lyrics and hand-drawn self-portraits, this book offers an intimate look inside the life and mind of a singular artist.

An enormously powerful final chapter in Cohen's storied literary career, The Flame showcases the full range of Leonard Cohen's lyricism, from the exquisitely transcendent to the darkly funny. By turns devastatingly sad and winningly strange, these are the works of a poet and lyricist who has plumbed the depths of our darkest questions and come up wanting, yearning for more.

A reckoning with a life lived deeply and passionately, with wit and panache, this collection is a valedictory work.
