"There are very, very few people who occupy the ground that Leonard Cohen walks on." - Bono "Cohen''s work evinces a different kind of prophetic stance, one marked by humility and an eagerness to carry out someone else''s bidding, to fulfill a mission he ''can''t even locate''. But "each page of paper that he blackened," in the words of his son, "was lasting evidence of a burning soul." "It was what he was staying alive to do, his sole breathing purpose at the end." Leonard Cohen died in late 2016. "This volume contains my father's final efforts as a poet," writes Cohen's son, Adam Cohen, in his foreword. A reckoning with a life lived deeply and passionately, with wit and panache, The Flame is a valedictory work. Featuring poems, excerpts from his private notebooks, lyrics, and hand-drawn self-portraits, The Flame offers an unprecedentedly intimate look inside the life and mind of a singular artist.
