**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, many of which are back in print for the first time in decades. **
*A freshly packaged new 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 1966, *Parasites of Heaven* came in the wake of the success of Cohen's second novel, *Beautiful Losers*. While not as ambitious as his three previous collections, *Parasites of Heaven* is an essential document in Cohen's evolution as it contains poems that would go on to form the basis of some of his most beloved songs, including "Suzanne" and "Avalanche."
