The Lords And New Creatures Poems JIM MORRISON (1970 1st Edition w/ Dust Jacket). This collection, born out of the tumultuous social and political landscape of the late sixties, is as intense, sensual, and compelling as Jim Morrison's persona was during the Doors' peak. His fast life and mysterious death remain controversial more than forty years later. Offered here is a text entitled: The Lords And New Creatures Poems, by Jim Morrison, published by Simon And Schuster (NY) in 1970, 1st Trade Edition, 5 1/2" x 8 3/4; 141pp. Purple cloth spine and papered boards have light wear and some dampstaining, some internal rippling of pages but no noticeable staining of pages; dust jacket is about good (some general wear/ scratches, dampstaining is visible internally). Originally self-published as two separate volumes in 1969 (The Lords/Notes on Vision, which Morrison described as "a thesis on film aesthetics," and The New Creatures, a surreal portrait of modern existence), the late singer'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. This collection, born out of the tumultuous social and political landscape of the late sixties, is as intense, sensual, and compelling as Jim Morrison's persona was during the Doors' peak. His fast life and mysterious death remain controversial more than forty years later. JAMES DOUGLAS MORRISON (1943-1971) was an American singer, poet, songwriter, writer, and film director.
