This is pretty much exactly what I expected.

It's like a rambling Doors song, but without any instrumentation to hold it together.

Mostly, it's just the rantings of an edge-lord.

I will attempt a reread to see if I can extract anything meaningful from it.

Perhaps with a second look, I'll be able to uncover some hidden gems or deeper insights that I missed the first time around.

It's possible that the seemingly random ramblings actually have a purpose or a message that's waiting to be discovered.

Or maybe it's just a jumble of words with no real substance.

Only time will tell as I embark on this rereading journey.

I'm hoping for the former, but preparing myself for the latter.

Either way, it's an interesting piece that has piqued my curiosity and made me want to explore it further.

Jim Morrison is truly a god in my eyes. He is the person from history that I most渴望 to meet. I am well aware that there are others who have made far greater contributions, but for me, it's all about Jim. I'm certain you're familiar with the music of The Doors and the poetic lyricism he infused into those songs. Well, his poetry is equally captivating, with its ability to warp reality,呈现出 a kaleidoscopic and heat-filled world.

'The Lords and the New Creatures', first published in 1969, captures the surreal realm that James Douglas Morrison inhabited. His commentary on society is both bleak and daring, yet simultaneously magical and connected. The words flow down the pages like syrup, unhinged and sensual, as seen in this passage: “The alchemists detect in the sexual activity of man a correspondence with the world’s creation, with the growth of plants, and with the mineral formations. When they see the union of rain and earth, they see it in an erotic sense, as copulation. And this extends to all realms of natural matter. For they can picture love affairs of chemicals and stars, a romance of stones, or the fertility of fire.”

The brilliance of his work leaves you feeling exposed and open, as if you're a little closer to death and your own mortality. These poems don't gently nurture or allow you to open softly. No, they tear through you like fire, leaving you raw and changed.

Despite all we know about Jim - the drugs, the volatility, the inner and outer turmoil - he lived a wild and unrestrained life, and for that, I am grateful. We need people like him who tear at the seams, who explore alternate realms and bring back something for the rest of us to experience. There are sages, shamans, prophets, and wisdom-keepers who don't conform to the traditional image; they wear black leather pants and embrace the darkness. They touch places we're afraid to go, leap into the void, and dance with their demons. Perhaps that is their role, and maybe there is another place that calls to them, a place without the limitations and boundaries of the physical world.

'The Lords and the New Creatures' is an inspiring work that will transport you to new landscapes and give you a glimpse of something intense and fleeting. It captures an era, a creative genius, and an enigmatic persona that continues to speak to us even from beyond the grave.

I first read this book of Jim Morrison's poetry over 35 years ago.

Recently, having been on a bit of a poetry kick, I decided to re-read it.

As the title suggests, the book is divided into two parts.

The first part, "The Lords (Notes on Vision)", delves into Morrison's thoughts on the figures we worship in the modern world.

The main theme here is that we unconsciously serve "lords" who maintain control over us and keep us content with images, cinema, art, entertainment, and more.

This section of the book is more like prose than poetry, with sometimes just a single sentence on a page representing a thought or theme.

The second part, "The New Creatures", is more mysterious to me.

It描绘了一群有趣的人物，并且有时会回溯到第一部分中所描述的“lords”。

This part of the book is mostly poetry and is more reminiscent of Morrison's lyrics than the first half.

Full disclosure: I had a Doors fanboy phase in college and have always been intrigued by Morrison's lyrics.

So, naturally, I liked this book when I first read it. And after reading it again, I still do.

It is recommended for poetry lovers who are also longtime Doors fans.

The theme of the film was quite noticeable for 'The Lords'. It really stood out and added a certain depth to the overall experience.

On the other hand, I liked that 'The New Creatures' had a somewhat looser theme in comparison. It gave a sense of freedom and flexibility, allowing for more interpretations and explorations.

However, I must admit that I'm by no means an expert, but these poems didn't seem to follow the most traditional structures. This could potentially be a plus for some people who appreciate a departure from the norm.

Nevertheless, there were some interesting lines and thoughts contained within. Morrison truly had a unique mind, which was evident in the way he crafted these works. It made for an engaging and thought-provoking read.

Overall, both 'The Lords' and 'The New Creatures' had their own strengths and weaknesses, but they both offered something interesting and值得 exploring.

It is not truly outstanding poetry. However, the concise words manage to disclose more profound concepts and prophetic insights. These are the kind of insights that very few individuals can convey with such precision. It is a great pity that he did not have a longer life to truly discover and develop his unique poetic voice. If he had lived longer, perhaps he would have been able to explore even deeper into the realm of poetry, creating works that would have had an even greater impact. But alas, fate had other plans for him. Nevertheless, the few words he left behind still hold a certain charm and power, allowing us to catch a glimpse of the potential that lay within him.

I actually quite enjoyed these little snippet poems.

They gave the true perspective of who Jim was, aside from his rock star persona.

The poems aren't fully organised or massively profound.

However, they're definitely reflective of the era in which they were written.

Moreover, they still hold up to relevancy in current society.

I think the conversation some of these poems hold on the importance of perception and manipulation of the media and film is contextually before their time.

Once again, I love this side to Jim.

As a fan, I found it imperative to acknowledge his love of poetry and his determination to be seen as a credible poet.

His poems offer a unique insight into his mind and the world around him during that particular period.

They show a different side of him that might not have been as visible through his music alone.

It's fascinating to explore this aspect of his creativity and understand how it contributed to his overall artistic identity.

Even though the poems may have their flaws, they have a charm and authenticity that make them worth reading and reflecting upon.

They serve as a reminder that there is often more to an artist than what meets the eye.

The Lord’s, And the New Creatures
Author: Jim Morrison
Reviewed by: Adam Michaelis

A man with the power to transform a generation, Jim Morrison made music with a band that had a profound impact on the scene. He was a poetic soul, and with his controversial words and life experiences, he penned The Lord’s and The New Creatures. This book will captivate you with its hypnotic language and alter your perspective after reading. Before this book, we were blind. It shines a true light on society.

This was the “Lizard King’s” first poetry collection, focusing on political events and revealing the dark side of society. In an excerpt, he describes the events following JFK’s assassination in 1963. He also delves into the psychology of human characteristics. Another excerpt portrays a voyeur persuading a child, hidden behind the shades. Some of his writings make you think and can be confusing at times. I got lost in parts, but through book club discussions, we analyzed and understood them together.

The book is divided into two sections, The Lord’s and The New Creatures. The New Creatures explores our savage nature beneath the common exterior. In a story, a man travels through the desert, exposed to the elements. It’s a tale of a lizard man and woman, painted vividly with creative words and pictures. Phrases like “Insect eyes” and “Dead crackling wires dance pools of sea blood” hold deeper meanings for the reader to discover. Judging this book’s meaning is in the hands of the reader.

I truly enjoyed this book as it was my first encounter with poetry. It made me realize that it doesn’t have to be just simple words to convey a point or story. Morrison’s description of the generation of drugs, sex, and rock n’ roll fascinated me. I also liked the words he used, which painted a vivid picture. I hope whoever reads this book will enjoy it as much as I did.

Lol@u Jim Morrison, shut up and sing.

You know, Jim Morrison was a really famous and influential figure in the music world. His unique style and powerful stage presence made him a legend. But sometimes, people might say things like "lol@u" to express their thoughts or maybe a bit of调侃.

In this case, it seems like someone is telling him to just focus on singing and not say too much else. The numbers "5-2-1" might have some sort of significance that only the person who wrote it knows. And then the "kthxbye" is a kind of casual way to end the message, like "okay, thanks, bye".

Overall, it's an interesting little message that shows the sometimes strange and random nature of communication, especially in the digital age.

These early Morrison poems are truly tremendous.

The collection is simmering with a plethora of influences that, in my opinion, would never neatly cohere into a completely unified and coherent vision. However, what makes it of such great importance is that it vividly showcases Morrison's intense intellectual and passionate engagement with these diverse influences. And perhaps more controversially, it reveals that he might not have been ideally suited to be a rock frontman and a sort of Bozo Dionysus figure, but rather a poet at heart.

His influences range widely, including Nietzsche, shamanism, Rimbaud, Burroughs, Blake, and a host of avant-garde filmmakers. Morrison attempts to blend Nietzsche's primitivism and sense of the sacred with shamanism, Rimbaud's illuminations, Burroughs' Nova Mob, and Blake's visions. What emerges is the palpable excitement of discovery and some truly sensitive and outstanding poetry.

In fact, this book and the first two Doors albums, which, if my memory serves me correctly, stem from the same notebook jottings, are truly Morrison's masterpieces. When compared to these, the records from Waiting for the Sun to L.A. Woman seem rather superfluous. To be sure, they contain some great songs, but they lack the singular vision that Morrison possessed before he achieved great success.

This collection really does give the impression that he is more like Rimbaud than anyone else. He did indeed burn out on poetry and creativity relatively early on and tried to live the kind of existence that Nietzsche writes about. But he couldn't manage it. He had a weak heart and could never truly live as a walking aesthetic construction, a living work of art.

After reading this, a part of me wishes that I had never heard of Morrison. Perhaps, if his heart had held out, he could have gone on to be a great but unheard-of poet, penning his own modern-day Illuminations, much like Rimbaud.

Aldous Huxley's influence on Morrison's writing is further evident in his poetry. It's as if the name of his band and song lyrics weren't already obvious enough.

I have a particular preference for the "The Lords: Notes on Vision" half of this collection over "The New Creatures". Nevertheless, both sections offer interesting poems that are rich in heavy metaphors and abstract concepts.

Among these, my favorite poems are the fifth one from "The Lords". The final line of this poem, "Cameras inside coffins interviewing worms", creates a vivid and rather macabre image. Another favorite is the poem about the Lords themselves.

These poems by Morrison, influenced by Huxley, take the reader on a journey through a world of strange and thought-provoking ideas. They challenge our perceptions and make us think about the deeper meanings hidden within the words.

Whether you are a fan of Morrison's music or simply interested in exploring unique and innovative poetry, these works are definitely worth a read.

I am an extremely passionate Jim Morrison fan.

Unlike many other fans, it's not merely his work with The Doors that has made me a devoted follower. I must confess that when I was younger, it was the flamboyant "Lizard King" antics and the captivating music of The Doors that initially lured me in as a fan.

While it is indeed true that The Doors are my favorite band, it is still not what sustains my fandom for Jim Morrison. It is his lyrics and poetry.

Perhaps this is because I myself am a poet.

I regard Jim Morrison as the Godfather of Dark Poetry. He had a unique ability to blend philosophy with the dark side, which would prompt you to reflect and delve deeper.

Just like The Doors' discography, Jim's poetry career was unfortunately cut short by his untimely death.

This book truly deserves a solid five-star rating. Jim's masterful use of language, his diverse mixture of styles, and the fact that he was ahead of his time as a pioneer of dark poetry, not to mention making poetry seem cool to those who would not ordinarily consider it, all contribute to its excellence.
