" 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.

A complete collection of both published and previously unpublished poetry and essays by the iconic singer/songwriter Jim Morrison.    

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 Includes unpublished poems, drawings, photos, and a candid self-interview.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 The American Night presents Morrison's previously unpublished work in its truest form.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.
