The only qualifications needed to write poetry are a pen and paper...and apparently a lot of LSD.

Imaginative, intense, revealing, and savage. I’ve loved it. It’s eccentric and crazy. Every now and then, I couldn’t even believe what I saw: Jim, the artist himself, daringly writes that “our lives are lived for us” and that “the Lords appease us with images / They give us books, concerts, galleries, shows, cinemas, especially the cinemas / Through art they confuse us and blind us to our enslavement / Art adorns our prison walls / Keep us silent and diverted and indifferent.” Not gonna lie, reading these poems felt like an out of body experience at times. Extraordinary <3

Meh. For die-hard Doors fans only, and I'm a die-hard Doors fan and still don't find much worth out of this collection other than that it's nice to have on my shelf.

For years I've been told that Jim Morrison is a bad writer. 'pretentious 'juvenile' and 'sophomoric' have all been used to describe his writing. I went into this with low expectations (despite being a Doors fan) but found it to be an insightful book of aphorisms and poetry. Jim clearly loved film and I wish he'd written more on film theory as he had a very unique take on it.
