The Collected Works of Jim Morrison is the book Jim Morrison wanted to publish. This definitive opus of his creative output - designed by the renowned firm Pentagram - includes verse and prose poems; never-before-seen personal journal entries written in Morrison's own hand, drawings, unpublished work, revisions of previously published poetry, transcripts, published and unpublished song lyrics, and more. Accompanying them is the transcript of The Village Recorder tapes - the selection of poems Morrison recorded on his birthday on December 8, 1970.
