Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Book of Longing written and read by Leonard Cohen.

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 2006, when this book was first published.
Book of Longing demonstrates the range and depth of Cohen's work, revealing an extraordinary gift of language that speaks with rare clarity, passion and timelessness.


'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

'Cohen maps this wasteland of the heart with humour, and sometimes anger' Independent

This is probably my favourite collection of poems from Cohen, and from here you can spot many songs from his later years, as well as so many memorable pieces.

You got me singing Leonard Cohen, thank you for the peep into your soul! AND in your own voice. The paperback is useless in comparison to your own voice. Im forever thankful that there is no limit on how many times I can listen to this book.
