The Poet in Exile
Hard cover first edition. What if Jim Morrisonıs grave in Paris contains only a coffin filled with rocks and sand? If Jim Morrison were still alive, where would he be hiding? More importantly, what would Jim Morrison be doing right now? How could such a high-profile celebrity fake his own death and find a place to live incognito for almost thirty years? Now past fifty, would the Doorsı dionysan frontman still be partying to excess and alienating everyone around him? Would a Doors reunion be a genuine possibility? In his first novel, THE POET IN EXILE, Ray Manzarek tells a riveting story that bears more than a passing resemblance to the real life and times of the singer who is the greatest frontman in the history of rock nı roll.

Poetry of Relevance - Vol. 1
Soft cover. Out of Print. This classic 1970 Canadian book was written as a teaching aid for those looking for connections between poems of our literary heritage and the lyrics from today's music. The author urges teachers to play the music and then read the poetry. This rare book is a very nice addition to your Morrison book collection being that he is featured on the cover and inside being compared to the likes of Walt Whitman, Irving Layton, and Allen Tate.
Other modern artists include: Pete Seeger, John Lennon, Joni Mitchell, Bruce Cockburn, Jim Morrison, Buffy Saint-Marie, Robert Graves and more!! Since they needed permission to reprint Doors lyrics, I'm sure Jim was aware of this book when it came out and found it very interesting! Cond: Exc-
