The Collected Works of Jim Morrison: Poetry, Journals, Transcripts, and Lyrics by Jim Morrison, Frank Lisciandro, Tom Robbins

4.0

What can I say? If you're a Doors fan then you'll probably want to buy this book. More specifically, if you're a Jim Morrison fan then you'll definitely want to buy this book. It's pretty great. Sure, there's a fair amount of drivel and adolescent cringeyness, but the moments of brilliance shine all the more because of them. Jim probably wasn't as great of a poet as he thought he was, but he really did have a strong observational eye on the culture and a sometimes magical way of expressing how he felt about the human condition. If he'd lived even just a little while longer, you can tell that his poetic vision would have solidified into something more mature and truly poignant.
