The objects, papers, and artifacts from Leonard Cohen's personal archive provide fresh insight into the artist's creative pursuits and the arc of his career over six decades. Aware from an early age that he was destined to make a mark on this world, Cohen preserved an expansive collection of personal letters, journals, manuscripts, sketches, and photographs. This densely illustrated book weaves together beautiful reproductions of these rarely seen documents with interviews and essays that provide greater context for the evolution of his public and private life."--Provided by publisher.
