Wilderness

I have decided to read a book of poems while reading a novel, biography or whatever other book. Rock and roll legend Jim Morrison was also a poet. The front man of the sixties rock group The Doors wrote poetry from his childhood to until the end of his life. Wilderness-The Lost Writings of Jim Morrison is a revealing look into the fragile, creative mind of a man searching for freedom. 

Morrison, as with Jack Kerouac,  is one of those people who totally fascinates me because their work was something no one had ever read nor try to put a label on. Jim Morrison poetry is as haunting as the many songs that he wrote. A review of the book is forthcoming.
