The Collected Works of Jim Morrison is a revelation for fans,
particularly those eager to look beyond the Lizard King Lothario
persona. — People
As thought-provoking as it is provocative and, beyond the priapic
bluster, Morrison is elegiac, too. — inews.co.uk
Morrison wrote that 'we had a great visitation of energy,'
proclaimed that 'the ancient ones' time has come again,' urged
readers to 'enter again the sweet forest/enter the hot
dream.' While he deliberately drove down toad-squirmy
backroads of primal terror, ecstasy was often naked in the shotgun
seat, spinning jeweled pinwheels, peeling a peach. — Tom Robbins,
from the foreword, “Fireflies of the Apocalypse"
