The Lords, Notes on Vision

Jim Morrison self-publishes his first collection of poetry, The Lords: Notes on Vision, in the spring of 1969 at the encouragement of his friend, the poet Michael McClure. Only 100 copies are printed and Morrison personally distributes them to friends and acquaintances. Designed not as a book but as 82
loose, letter-sized pages printed on Japanese vellum held in a blue cardboard folder with the title and Morrison’s full name, James Douglas Morrison, embossed in gold ink on the front.
