Book Reviews of the Book of Longing
Customer Review: This is what poetry is all about
Summary: 5 Stars
Leonard Cohen heads an elite class of poets/singer-songwriters. I don't like everything Leonard Cohen writes, but almost everything. When he's on, nobody does it any better. Nobody. And he may be getting older (aren't we all) but he still has all the melancholy and pent up feelings you can handle. His "Thousand Kisses Deep" is truly fantastic. Such imagery. Such passion. His poems explore religion, isolation, sexuality. His five years in seclusion as a Zen buddhist monk just helped Leonard focus his raw talent to better effect. This collection will delight the poetic heart.
