Jim Morrison was the prolific song-writer and singer with The Doors during the 1960s. He died in Paris in 1971 aged 27, another victim of an excessive rock and roll lifestyle. This is a selection of his writings, collated from 1600 pages of notes and diary entries.

" Jim Morrison, avec les Doors, incarnait l'ange noir, le rebelle que les adultes jugeraient sans cause, le scandaleux qui, dans son cuir luisant, faisait des choses que la morale réprouve avec ferveur.[...] Dans ces poèmes, textes de chansons, écrits publiés en revue, Morrison dit le blues : hachés, syncopés, mystérieux, ses mots peu à peu scandent la grande colère et la grande détresse de l'homme qui hait les modèles qu'on lui offre, et qui ne parvient pas à se sortir su désordre de la dérision. " Evelyne Pieiller, Révolution.

Compiled from the literary estate of the singer who brought a wildly lyrical poetry of the damned to the world of rock 'n' roll. Includes unpublished poems, drawings, photos, and a candid self-interview.

The celebrated lead singer of The Doors, Jim Morrison is a legend of rock and roll. The American Night presents Morrison's previously unpublished work in its truest form. With their nightmarish images, bold associative leaps, and volcanic power of emotion, these works are the unmistakable artifacts of a great, wild voice and heart.

Ce volume complète Seigneurs et Nouvelles créatures en ce sens que sont maintenant disponibles la quasi-totalité des écrits de Jim Morrison. La première partie de ce volume regroupe, classés disque par disque, les textes des chansons écrites par Morrison pour Les Doors. Une prière américaine n'avait été publiée aux Etats-Unis qu'en plaquette tirée à 200 exemplaires uniquement réservés aux amis de Morrison. Ode à L.A. en songeant à feu Brian Jones est un écrit plus rare encore puisqu'il n'avait circulé que sous la forme d'une feuille imprimée, distribuée au public lors de concerts des Doors en 1969. Enfin, le texte qui termine ce recueil fut publié en 1968 dans la revue américaine Eye.

Originally published as two separate volumes in 1969, Jim Morrison’s first published volume of poetry gives a revealing glimpse of an era and the man whose songs and savage performances have left an indelible impression on our culture. Intense, erotic, and enigmatic, Jim Morrison’s persona is as riveting now as the lead singer/composer “Lizard King” was during The Doors’ peak in the late sixties. His fast life and mysterious death remain controversial even to this day. The Lords and the New Creatures, Morrison’s first published volume of poetry, is an uninhibited exploration of society’s dark side—drugs, sex, fame, and death—captured in sensual, seething images. Here, Morrison gives a revealing glimpse at an era and at the man whose songs and savage performances have left their indelible impression on our culture.

Though subsequent volumes of Morrison's poetry have been published posthumously, 'The Lords and the New Creatures' are the only works Morrison authorised and are an important appendix to the breathtaking music he left behind

Ursprünglich 1969 in zwei separaten Bänden veröffentlicht, bietet der erste veröffentlichte Gedichtband des verstorbenen Sängers einen aufschlussreichen Einblick in eine Ära und in den Mann, dessen Lieder und leidenschaftlichen Auftritte einen bleibenden Eindruck in unserer Kultur hinterlassen haben. Diese Sammlung, geboren aus der turbulenten sozialen und politischen Landschaft der späten Sechziger, ist so intensiv, sinnlich und fesselnd wie die Persona von Jim Morrison während des Höhepunkts der Doors. Sein schnelles Leben und sein mysteriöser Tod bleiben mehr als vierzig Jahre später umstritten.

Exploring the turbulent relationship between legendary Doors frontman Jim Morrison and his common-law wife Pamela Courson, 'Angels Dance & Angels Die' tells the story of Courson and Morrison before their fateful meeting in 1965, up until her death from a heroin overdose in April 1974.

"Jim Morrison's poetic vision, electrifying live performances, and voracious appetite for sexual, spiritual, and psychedelic experience inflamed the spirit and psyche of a generation. During his scorching rise to stardom as the lead singer of the Doors in the 1960s, his voice and lyrics reached out to the darkest thoughts and most passionate desires of fans around the world."

Nell'estate del 1971, al momento della sua tragica e misteriosa morte, il leader dei Doors aveva scritto più di settecento pagine di poesie, aneddoti, epigrammi, saggi, racconti, soggetti e sceneggiature. Raccolte e riordinate dagli amici, quelle pagine sono confluite in questo volume, che ripropone, con l'originale a fronte, liriche e appunti
