Jim Morrison was the poster-boy for the mind-bending, outlandish lifestyle of the 1960s in his brief but brilliant career as lead singer of The Doors. This is a published book of poetry by the hard-rock lyricist, who died on July 3, 1971, at age 27. "This collection, born out of the tumultuous social and political landscape of the late sixties, is as intense, sensual, and compelling as Jim Morrison's persona was during the Doors' peak".
