Summary: Insightful For Anyone
Review: This is a collection of Mojo's poems, and as all poems and writings, they provide insight into interests, perceptions, experiences and latent attitudes towards occurrences. There are occasional B & W stills of Jim, and copies of the original poems in his own handwriting. Those familiar with his life and career will be able to tie in some of them to what you already know of him, while others provide insight into his thoughts about certain things. Here are two of my favorites: LAMERICA
In my humble opinion "Lamerica" reveals his thoughts on suburban sprawl, encroaching development, and the never-ending tendency for humans to destroy the places where they live. How true then (Viking and explorers who extracted resources). And today in modern times: the "blue maps," being the back-roads of America off of the main interstates (hidden connections).....ending with the last 4 lines that is "end-all," or result. LAMERICA

the unconscious a map of the states
the blue hiways
beauty of a map
hidden connections
fast trampled forest madness in a whisper
neon crackle
the hiss of tires
a city growls rich, vast & sullen
like a slow monster
come to fat
& die Here's another. More subjective. The curious to learn and experience coupled with wanderlust might interpret this in a personalized way, like I did. THE OPENING OF THE TRUNK
moment of inner freedom
when the mind is opened
& the infinite universe revealed
& the sould is left to wander
dazed and confus'd searching
here and there for teachers and friends Jim Morrison

Summary: If You Love The Doors, You Need This Book
Review: Unlike Kurt Cobain's Journals, this book of Morrison's poetry is insightful and truly introspective. This is a fascinating look into the beautiful mind of a poet of depth, sometimes profound, rarely inane, always interesting, this is a wondful look inside at what made Jim. He was passionate, he was gentle, he was nostalgic for a past completely out of reach, and all of this is protrayed so wonderfully through his words. If you've ever felt a connection to The Doors and want to know the man behind the lyrics a little deeper, this is the book for you.

Summary: Jim Morrison: Overlooked poet
Review: Wilderness is a wonderful book for anyone who loves to write, or deeply enjoys reading poetry. It is quite sad that some people in our society automatically think that Morrison's poetry is trash just because of the fact that he was a rock star as well as a poet. Morrison wrote beautifully and the depth that he concentrated into each one of his works shines through. This is a great book for anyone who appreciates Morrison or good poetry, I highly recommend it.
