Published in 1956 when he was twenty-two years old, Let Us Compare Mythologies is Leonard Cohen's first book. Long out of print, it is now available exactly as it appeared fifty years ago as one of the four hundred copies published by the McGill Poetry Series in Canada, with its original cover and illustrations by Canadian artist Freda Guttman.

"There is only one emotion which money has ever extended to idealism - contempt."

Super busy day today, but I love #spinepoetry, so using my lunch break to do this. #priorities #30JuneBooks @howjessreads

Let us compare mythologies:
men like gods
cast in honour
the red threads of fortune

women in purple
cast in sorrow
at the altar,
the song of Troy

StayCurious Very good! 🤗 5y

Curiouser_and_curiouser Wow! I just read the blurb, looks like you may have one of the 400 copies of Leonard's book! When was your Leonard Cohen book published? 5y

Dear friend, I have searched all night
through each burnt paper,
but I fear I will never find
the formula to let you die.
