Synopsis
Jim Morrison was one of the most erudite and widely read of all rock stars, whatever demons inhabited his anguished soul. The name of his group The Doors was inspired by the writings of William Blake and Aldous Huxley, and the lyrics he wrote and sang bear witness to his fertile gift for rich, mysterious imagery. Much of this was overlooked amid the colourful, controversial and decadent life that Morrison chose to lead.
Over fifty thousand copies have been sold of The Lords and the New Creatures since its original publication. The two volumes of Morrison's poetry included in this volume, the only examples of Morrison's poetry published during his lifetime, were first issued in 1969 as private limited editions of only one hundred copies each. Later editions became essential reading, not just for fans of The Doors, but for all with an interest in contemporary American verse.
