This video clip is Jim Morrison of the world famous Doors (and thanks to Wallace Fowlie = now legitimate poet) - and Jim is backstage of an arena with a Minister. The footage of Jim and the Minister is from Jim's film "a Feast of Friends" which premiered at the Atlanta Film Fest - and the art work that someone edited into this You Tube clip is by Hieronymus Bosch = an artist that Jim was very fond of and influenced him in university years. | |
Speaking of religion, Hieronymus Bosch , visions, and poetry, in the summer of 2001 I was having these visions that were much like the work of Hieronymus Bosch (but modern day) which led me to my library to pull his book from the shelves and study = And this was mixed with other signs, symbols, encounters, energy and words tugging at me = And the result was a poem I wrote called "Full Sun" for my e-book MossHead7 on mystrawhat.com in late August of 2001= It was startling to me and I read it over and over again and then on September 11, 2001 I knew what it all meant.

Rebel as Poet: Rimbaud and Jim Morrison by Wallace Fowlie = Entertainment Weekly Book Review
This book that I have in our library has a personalized inscription inside by Wallace Fowlie that reads: "For John Alan Conte`, Jr., our frienship begun here - March 13 1996 Wallace Fowlie"

Rimbaud And Jim Morrison: The Rebel As Poet
Wallace Fowlie
By D.A. Ball
''Dear Wallace Fowlie...thanks for doing the Rimbaud translation...I am a rock singer and your book travels around with me.'' The 1968 note was signed Jim Morrison, but French literature professor Fowlie had no idea who that was. Like all good teachers, Fowlie asked his students and began applying his expertise to what they taught him. Twenty-six years later, the result is this lucid exploration of common ground between French symbolist poet Arthur Rimbaud and rock poet Morrison: the myths surrounding each, the forces that drove their astonishingly brief careers, and their electrically terse word-pictures. Rimbaud And Jim Morrison: The Rebel As Poet is good old-fashioned scholarly criticism that illuminates the poetry instead of ego-lighting the critic. Some will find it densely academic.
