It is only in death, 50 years ago, that Jim Morrison’s true legacy is being realised, of his literary output being far potent than his leather trousers, his confident sexiness or the Oedipal rage immortalised in the song
The End. He was a poet. “So long as there are human beings, songs and poetry can continue,” said Morrison in 1969, who passed away in Paris on July 3, 1971, under mysterious circumstances that perhaps befits his persona.
Capturing his legacy is the newly-released book
The Collected Works
of Jim Morrison, an anthology of his poems, journals, film treatments and lyrics, much of which is previously unreleased, drawn from several notebooks in his estate’s vault. It’s a chance to see the man in “his entirety”.
