Ecco Press, 2007. Hardcover. 50th Anniversary Facsimile Edition. VG/VG. 

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."
