I was met with a great deal of familiarity. There were many of his writings that I had already listened to in song for quite a number of years by now. Morrison was truly captivating and enchanting. I had long been intending to read his poems and writings on paper for a considerable period of time. This particular collection served as an excellent companion during my train rides to and from work. It provided a source of inspiration and a means of escaping the daily routine. The words seemed to come alive on the page, transporting me to different worlds and emotions. It was a wonderful experience to finally be able to engage with his works in a more tangible way.

Both of Jim Morrison's poetry books are truly remarkable.

As you peruse through his works, you can almost hear the distinct drumbeat of Densmore, the soulful guitar of Kreiger, and the magnificent organ of Manzarek.

These works, like many others from that era, serve as a poignant reminder of the talented artists that the 1960s unfortunately claimed.

They make us wonder about the countless possibilities and the potential that was left unrealized.

Jim Morrison's poetry has a unique charm that draws readers in and takes them on a journey through his mind and emotions.

It is a testament to his creativity and his ability to express himself in a powerful and evocative way.

Whether you are a fan of his music or simply appreciate good poetry, his books are definitely worth exploring.

They offer a glimpse into a world that was full of hope, rebellion, and artistic expression.

And even though Jim Morrison is no longer with us, his works continue to inspire and touch the hearts of people around the world.

I felt as if I had finished one of the books that I used to read before, with this strange and not specifically structured poetry. It was music without sound.

It was a unique experience that took me on a journey through the author's thoughts and emotions. The words seemed to dance on the page, creating a vivid and abstract image in my mind.

I found myself getting lost in the rhythm and flow of the poetry, unable to tear myself away. It was like a beautiful dream that I didn't want to wake up from.

Although I couldn't quite put my finger on what exactly made this poetry so special, I knew that it had touched something deep within me. It had opened up a new world of possibilities and made me see things from a different perspective.

I will definitely be reading more of this author's work in the future, eager to explore the mysteries and wonders that lie within their words.

This is a sweet story that is a quick read. It truly captivates the reader from start to finish.

What makes it even more special is the beautiful poetry that is skillfully woven throughout the narrative.

The use of poetry adds a touch of elegance and depth to the story, enhancing the overall reading experience.

Each poem seems to fit perfectly within the context of the story, further enriching the characters and their emotions.

The author has done a wonderful job of creating a seamless blend of prose and poetry, making this a unique and engaging read.

Whether you are a fan of poetry or simply enjoy a good story, this book is sure to delight.

It is a quick and enjoyable read that will leave you with a warm feeling in your heart.

I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a charming and unforgettable literary experience.

Wow!

This article is really interesting. It contains a lot of valuable information and ideas.

I believe that by rewriting and expanding it, we can make it even better and more engaging.

Let's start by adding more details and examples to support the main points.

We can also use more vivid language and descriptive words to bring the content to life.

In addition, we can rephrase some of the sentences to make them more流畅 and natural.

By doing all these things, we can create an article that is not only informative but also enjoyable to read.

Wow! I can't wait to see the final result.

I had actually managed to save up money to purchase this book, and let me tell you, I NEVER save money.

Besides being an ardent Doors fan and completely losing my mind over Jim Morrison, I was even more captivated by Jim, the poet, the prophet.

The American Night is truly a gold mine. It is filled with terrifyingly beautiful poetry that you can connect with in your own unique way. Its darkness is twisted, yet it is also truthful and beautiful.

Jim's mind must have been incredibly enticingly dark.

All hail the lizard king.

He will forever remain in our hearts, a legend that can never be forgotten. His words and his presence will continue to inspire generations to come.

We will always look back on his work and be in awe of his talent and his vision.

Jim Morrison is truly an icon, and his legacy will live on forever.

Secondo e ultimo volume degli scritti postumi di Jim Morrison, questo volume raccoglie le sue ultime opere estratte dall'enorme corpus ritrovato dopo la sua morte. Sono principalmente presenti le poesie dei suoi ultimi anni e del periodo francese subito precedente alla sua morte.

Come per il precedente volume, il voto sarebbe una stellina in meno. Tuttavia, ciò viene perdonato in quanto, innanzitutto, le poesie qui raccolte derivano da una enorme quantità di materiale inedito pubblicato dopo la morte dell'autore. Non sappiamo nemmeno se egli avrebbe voluto la pubblicazione di queste opere in questa forma. Inoltre, considerando che stiamo parlando di un grande artista spesso sottovalutato e decisamente meno noto come scrittore, questo volume è un immenso documento storico.

A livello di traduzione, l'edizione ha ovviamente gli stessi pro e contro del primo volume. Tuttavia, viene perdonata avendo il testo originale a fronte, riconoscendo la difficoltà dello slang utilizzato e l'estrema astrattezza di alcune immagini.

La maggior parte di queste opere va considerata come un enorme diario poetico di una persona con una vena creativa esuberante e sterminata. È come un quaderno di appunti che Jim teneva e su cui annotava qualsiasi cosa in forma poetica, comprese osservazioni personali sulla musica, l'arte e la vita in generale, influenzato dalla Beat Generation, Rimbaud, i surrealisti e altri ancora, ma con uno stile personale e riconoscibilissimo. Questo diario forse sarebbe stato tenuto per sé senza sentire il bisogno di pubblicare o probabilmente sviluppato e organizzato in altro modo se fosse sopravvissuto. Quando si trasferì a Parigi, decise di ritirarsi dal mondo della musica per avviare una propria carriera artistica.

The most sincere poetry collection that I have ever read. Morrison didn't want to create poetry, nor did he pretend to make literature. He simply intended to express on loose sheets that which tormented him. The thoughts of a brilliant mind. Love, death, and solitude. It is a poetry collection that moves.

The great highway
is congested
with lovers,
and seekers,
and those who give up
so eager
to please
and forget.


Solitude.

This poem seems to paint a vivid picture of a bustling highway filled with various people, each with their own motives and emotions. The mention of "love, death, and solitude" gives a sense of the depth and complexity of the human experience that Morrison is exploring. The video link provided might offer further insights or interpretations of the poem. Overall, this is a powerful and thought-provoking piece of work.

I don't know if every Doors fan would like it.

Morrison's poetry is, in some cases, very different from their music.

However, it is a good compilation of poems. Some are more abstract, and some readers might find them difficult to engage with. Some are like vivid images constructed with words. Some are more explicit and less "poetic".

Overall, it depends on whether you enjoy the style or not. Some of the poems I really liked, some made me think, and some didn't captivate me as much. But I liked it, on the whole.

I'm not sure if the Doors lyrics section was necessary in the book, but it doesn't cause any harm. There are also some poems that appear in the band's lyrics, with additional parts.

What I thought was a nice addition was "The Hitchhiker (An American Pastoral)", which is a screenplay he wrote. (There's also a film he recorded called "An American Pastoral", which I think was based on this idea).

Also, there are a couple of scans of some of his handwritten poems, which was cool to see.

I read somewhere that what made these works interesting was probably Jim Morrison himself, and that might be true in some cases. But if you're interested in delving into more of his personal works, give it a try, because many of them are very good.

Also, there is a recording of Morrison reciting poems in a poetry session, some of which are in the book. I recommend checking that out if you've read it. And if you haven't, it'll give you an idea of his poetry works, though there are many more here, including drafts.

Jim Morrison, who was a member of a great band, unfortunately, his poetry leaves much to be desired.

It seems more like the kind of writing one would expect to find in a junior high creative writing class.

Moreover, it is quite evident that he was under the influence of a significant amount of acid during that period.

Perhaps this drug use affected his perception and the quality of his poetic output.

While his music may have had its merits, his poetry fails to reach the same level of artistic excellence.

It lacks depth, sophistication, and the ability to truly engage and move the reader.

One can't help but wonder what might have been if he had focused more on honing his poetic skills rather than relying on the effects of drugs.

Nevertheless, Jim Morrison remains a controversial figure in the history of music and literature, with his poetry serving as a reminder of the excesses and pitfalls of that era.

As crazy as ol' Jim clearly was, there was something truly captivating about his poetry. It had a certain charm that spoke directly to my soul. I couldn't quite put my finger on what it was, but it had a power that I couldn't ignore.

I don't know what the future holds or what's gonna happen, but I do know that I'm gonna make the most of the present. I'm gonna get my kicks and enjoy every moment before the whole shit house goes up in flames.

His words were like a wildfire, spreading through my mind and igniting a passion within me. It was pure poetry, unadulterated and raw. It made me feel alive and free, as if nothing could hold me back.

Maybe it was his madness that gave his poetry such authenticity. Or maybe it was the way he expressed himself, without any filters or inhibitions. Whatever it was, I was hooked.

I found myself constantly thinking about his poems, replaying them in my head and trying to understand their deeper meaning. It was like a puzzle that I couldn't solve, but one that I was determined to keep working on.

Ol' Jim may have been crazy, but his poetry was a work of art. And I was lucky enough to have discovered it.

I write like this to seize you.

There's a palace in the canyon where you and I were born. It was a place of wonder and beauty, a haven.

Now I'm a lonely man. The once glorious palace seems distant, and I long to go back. Let me back into the Garden.

The blue shadows of the canyon hold memories of when I met you. But now you're gone, and with you, my dream has vanished.

A man searching for lost Paradise can seem a fool to those who never sought the other world. But I don't care. I'm determined to find my way back to you and the Garden.

A monster arrived in the mirror to mock the room and its fool alone. But I won't be deterred.

Give me songs to sing and emerald dreams to dream, and I'll give you love unfolding.

This is my poem for you, the great flowing funky flower'd beast, the great perfumed wreck of hell.

You lie, you cheat, you steal, you kill, and you'll die utterly and alone. But you know more than you let on, much more than you betray.

The great slimy angel-whore, you've been good to me. Tell them you came and saw, looked into my eyes and saw the shadow of the guard receding.

Thoughts in time and out of season, the Hitchhiker stood by the side of the road and levelled his thumb in the calm calculus of reason.

Excerpt from Morrison's "Paris Journal," one of the last lines he wrote before his death. Strange, powerful, sex-fueled ramblings mixed with beauty. As one of my professors says: Morrison seems to walk a thin line between profoundness and reading too much Nietzsche. Perhaps both are true at once in the chaos of life.
