# Dance Me to the End of Love - Hardcover

by **Leonard Cohen** (Author), **Henri Matisse** (Illustrator)

10 years ago, Welcome Books published the star of its Art & Poetry Series, _Dance Me to the End of Love_, a deliriously romantic song by Leonard Cohen that was brilliantly visualized through the sensual paintings of Henri Matisse. Now for its 10-year anniversary, Welcome is thrilled to present the entirely re-imagined and redesigned _Dance Me to the End of Love._ With the art of Matisse and the words of Cohen still at the heart of the book, the new look and feel of this Art & Poetry book is overwhelmingly beautiful.  
Cohen's song is a lyrical tribute to the miracle of love, the grace it bestows on us and its healing, restorative power. Originally recorded on his _Various Positions_ album, and featured in Cohen's anthology, _Stranger Music_, this poetic song is gloriously married to the art works by Henri Matisse, perhaps the greatest artist of the twentieth century. "I had this dance within me for a long time," Matisse once said in describing one of his murals. _Dance Me to the End of Love_ is the perfect book for art lovers, song lovers, and all other lovers as well.
