The Mass Sacrificial Spectacle: The Doors in Poetry and History

Explains the history and significance of the rock band The Doors in terms of Jim Morrison's published poetry. A great way to get started with Jim's poetry and Doors history! One of the root aspects is that the book really isn't about The Doors per se, it's about a dynamic in modern culture. The Doors just were the first, best example of it! But the idea is to let The Doors become a bridge to understanding that more vague-seeming subject.
