Burning The May Tree: The Sacrifice of Jim Morrison Chris M Balz

Unlocks the history and significance of the rock band The Doors in terms of Jim Morrison's published poetry. The book gives us a window into an epic struggle for cultural change, and how it was suppressed.

A great way to get started with Jim's poetry and Doors history.




"Every time I pick up the new edition of Burning the May Tree, I discover a thought or idea about Jim's poetry that strikes me as unique and insightful. Yours is the only book to shine a focused, intelligent and critical light on Morrison's writing."

- Frank Lisciandro, co-editor of Wilderness and The American Night, books of Jim Morrison's posthumously published poetry.
