Let Us Compare Mythologies: Leonard Cohen's First Poetry Book―The Original 1956 Canadian Edition, Fully Restored

“There is no difference between a poem and a song. Some were songs first and some were poems first and some were simultaneous." -Leonard Cohen

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 at publication 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.

This collection features poems such as:

• "The Captain"
• "To the Unknown Woman"
• "For E.G."

Leonard Cohen was born in Montreal in 1934. He is the author of twelve books, including, most recently, the national bestseller Book of Longing, and has released seventeen albums.
