No One Here Gets Out Alive

About this book

An army brat and college dropout, Jim Morrison saw his place in this world as a poet. Even clad in his signature black leather pants, Morrison was never a typical rock star; he counted Baudelaire, Nietzsche, and Blake among his influences and resolved to follow in their paths as an uncompromising artist, finding inspiration in everything, testing reality, and expanding his consciousness by any means necessary. In the tradition of such artists as Coleridge, Rimbaud, Poe, and Kerouac, Morrison embraced life, determined to feel every bit of its joy and pain, tragedy and hope.
