Leonard Cohen's posthumous book includes a poem called "Kanye West Is Not Picasso"

Last week Leonard Cohen's poshumous collection of writings were released in new book The Flame.

One of the poems, dated 15 March 2015, takes its inspiration from Kanye West's University of Oxford lecture.

The poem mentions the likes of Tesla and Jay-Z, and sees Cohen write, "I am the Kanye West of Kanye West / The Kanye West / Of the great bogus shift of bullshit culture."

Leonard Cohen passed away in November 2016 aged 82, just after releasing his last record You Want It Darker.

Last month the late-singer's son Adam Cohen revealed he had been working on his father's posthumous album. He also produced You Want It Darker.
