To mark the publication of Leonard Cohen's final book, The Flame , McClelland & Stewart is proud to reissue six beautiful editions of Cohen's cherished early works of poetry. A freshly packaged series for devoted Leonard Cohen fans and those who wish to discover one of the world's most adored and celebrated writers. Originally published by McClelland & Stewart in 1964, Flowers for Hitler is Leonard Cohen's third collection of poetry, in which he first experiments with his self-consciously "anti-art" gestures: an attempt, in his own words, to move "from the world of the golden-boy poet into the dung pile of the front-line writer." Haunted by the image of the Nazi concentration camps, the poems are deliberately ugly, tasteless, and confrontational, setting out to destroy the image of Cohen as a sweet romantic poet. Its author was confident in his new direction, telling his publisher at the time that the collection was a masterpiece, and "there [had] never been a book like this, prose or poetry, written in Canada."

Seller's Description:
Used: Acceptable. Size: 8x6x1; Condition good. Flowers for Hitler is Canadian poet and composer Leonard Cohen's third collection of poetry, originally published in 1964 by McClelland and Stewart. Like other artworks regarding Adolf Hitler as a subject, it was somewhat controversial in its day. The inscription on its initial page reads "In an earlier time this would be called Sunshine for Napoleon, and earlier still it would have been called Walls for Genghis Khan." Unlike some of Cohen's later poetry, all of the poems in Flowers For Hitler are properly titled. The opening quote comes from Primo Levi's Survival in Auschwitz.

Seller's Description:
Very Good. 1972 reprint. 8vo, softcover. A very attractive copy with no fading, tears or creasing to the covers. Only flaws to covers are very slight wear to edges and some moderate surface rubbing. Internally the text is very attractive as well with no noticeable wear to pages. A much above-average copy. This was Rod McKuen's copy and bears his bookplate upon which he has written "October 1972", presumably when he bought the book.
