I signori. Le nuove creature. Le poesie di «Re Lucertola»

So sad that we lost him so soon. I think he would have produced many more important songs and poems if he had had the time. Always felt as if he knew he was only going to be here for just a little while; like he was trying to rage against the light inside that was going to die very soon.

Funnily enough, you should be able to get a good idea of what you’re getting here before you start reading. This collection combines the only two books of poetry that were published during Jim Morrison’s turbulent lifetime.

This isn't Shakespeare or Edgar Allan Poe. This can't be regarded in the same light. These writings are from a well read rock'n'roll singer. I enjoy the images he uses and the journey his words take me on. It doesn't always make sense but is entertaining and at times thought provoking.
