«Libro del anhelo» is Leonard Cohen's poetry collection, published by Lumen in hardcover (248 pages, in Spanish).
It brings together the poetry Leonard Cohen wrote over more than twenty years. In his poems, the author reflects on love, death and his own life, and the texts sit alongside drawings and self-portraits by Cohen himself, which complement the reading with irony and sensitivity.
The original work was published in 2006 under the title Book of Longing; this Spanish-language edition appeared in 2017.
