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. The book contains an extensive selection from Cohens notebooks, featuring lyrics, prose pieces and illustrations, which he kept in poetic form throughout his life, and offers an unprecedentedly intimate look inside the life and mind of a singular artist and thinker.Īn enormously powerful final chapter in Cohens storied literary career, The Flame showcases the full range of Leonard Cohens lyricism, from the exquisitely transcendent to the darkly funny. He just wanted enough time to put his last book in order. Just weeks before his death in late 2016, Leonard Cohen told The New Yorker that he was ready for the end to come. The Flame is a stunning collection of Leonard Cohens last poems and writings, selected and ordered by Cohen in the final months of his life. It is important to consider Leonard Cohen by looking back though his posthumous collection, The Flame Poems and Selections from Notebooks. The Flame is the final collection of the seminal musician and poet, which he was determined to complete before his death. UITVOERING: Hardback / harde kaft / gebonden.
