Book of Mercy

More about the book

Popular since its original publication more than 35 years ago, Leonard Cohen's classic book of contemporary psalms is just as relevant and compelling as ever. Internationally celebrated for his writing and his music, Leonard Cohen is revered as one of the great writers, performers, and most consistently daring artists of our time. The poems in Book of Mercy brim with praise, despair, anger, doubt, and trust. Speaking from the heart of the modern world, yet in tones that resonate with an older devotional tradition, these verses give voice to our deepest, most powerful intuitions.
