Wilderness: The Lost Writings of Jim Morrison

Cannot fault the service or product.

Just as described, very happy!

The words and images in this book have a way with your mind. They stick in your subconscious as if they are the stories your ancestors told around the campfire. Jim Morrison's poetry is a mix of Greek mythology, and Shamanic mysticism. Throw in some books from long ago that are deep in the blood of mankind, and you end up with Morrison. His poetry does not talk about himself. Instead he writes about archetypical themes in a modern setting. His setting was the 60's, which provided a lot of material: Vietnam, new drugs, the Women's Rights Movement, and the Civil Rights Movement. All of these things were ripping at the fabric of America (and humanity). Morrison's poetry attacks these chaotic times head on. However, he writes as if he were a 19th century poet in the mold of Lord Byron, or Arthur Rimbaud. He achieved his goal, and a place in history.

Some great writings from the Lizard King. I love his songs and his poetry. He was a truly creative soul, and if you're a fan then you'll enjoy this book.

a good book to dip into if you only have a few minutes tosit and relax. Poetry is what I expectedfrom Jim Morrison.

was a gift

Was a little disappointed when this book arrived as it had no dust jacket,when I went back into the advert I could find no mention of the dust jacket being missing,big fan of Morrison so I'm feeling kinda done over on this purchase....... great book all the same, delivery time was quick

Great book. I understand that few people think that these poems should have been left unpublished because these could not be the best of Morrison. Agreed. But if you are person who loves Jim Morrison, this book will make you feel like you're in touch with him. The book has a few doodles and images of his writings. Lets just say it is a must have for any Jim Morrison Fan.

Sometimes even lovers of Doors-Music and the mystic charms of legendary singer and rock performer Jim Morrison call his lyrics not so much artistic but artifical, general ideas and phrases collected from other writers (such as William Blake, Céline, Rimbaud, Anais Nin and obviously Bert Brecht), saying Jim Morrison was much more a gifted compiler than creative searcher for new poetic expressions. To make a long story short - to me Jim Morrison the singer and James Douglas Morrison the poet, two facets of the same person, are hard working and successful artists while specifically the poet deserves more attention and careful readers. Just do some close reading of the great poem "Round-up Rondolay Rhonda", and take a break with "The opening of the trunk" - and you will find a great American poet far from the vanities and temptations of Rock'n'Roll circus. Yesterday in the evening, after a long and hot day in the office, I came home, took myself a beer, went out and read Morrisons poetry while waves of heated air flooded the garden, leaving roasted roses and birds tumbling through jelly air. "We could plan a murder or start a religion."

Poemas de Jim Morrison, sólo para fans pero es interesante. Yo personalmente no los había leído. Algunos están con su letra original. Por el precio está muy bien. No esperes una calidad de las hojas y una edición impresionante, pero es realmente barato y curioso.
