Summary Presented as a definitive collection (and certainly the most complete text available of Cohen's poetry and songs), this is also in some ways his oddest, quirkiest book.  Edited by committee, it offers drastic re-writes of many poems, and completely reworks the body of MSS which made up Death of a Lady's Man.  An essential book, but not nearly as authoritative or definitive as it might seem.
