Danny Fields on Jim Morrison’s poetry, from the Poetry Foundation Blog

By Ernest Hilbert • September 29, 2008 • E-Verse Universe

Jim Morrison was a callous asshole, an abusive, mean person. I took Morrison to Max’s and he was a monster, a prick. And his poetry sucked. He demeaned rock & roll as literature. Sophomoric bullshit babble. Maybe one or two good images.

Patti Smith was a poet. I think she elevated rock & roll to literature. Bob Dylan elevated it. Morrison’s wasn’t poetry. It was garbage disguised as teenybopper. It was good rock & roll for thirteen-year olds. Or eleven-year-olds.
