Leonard Cohen’s final book due out in October 2018
TORONTO — The final book of poetry Leonard Cohen wrote, put together himself and finished in the months before his death last November will hit shelves next year.
McClelland and Stewart said Friday it will release “The Flame” on Oct. 16, 2018.
The publishing house describes the book as “a stunning collection of Cohen’s last poems, selected and ordered by the author in the final months of his life.”
The book also has excerpts from his notebooks as well as the full lyrics to his final three albums and those written by Cohen for the album “Blue Alert” by his collaborator Anjani.
