What book is Jim Morrison (played by Val Kilmer) reading in the the film 'The Doors'?

Question

The book was read in the short film they watched by 'Jim Morrison' in the beginning of the movie.

Answer 1

Easy, The poem that Jim Morrison is reading at the opening of the film is actually two selections from his book of poetry "An American Prayer": "Awake Ghost Song" and "Awake". It is the same book that Jim gives to his bandmates at the end of the film. The musical version of An American Prayer was not, however, recorded by the surviving members of the Doors until several years after Morrison's death.

I'm a good fun of the Doors. I've got the movie too!

Answer 2

Its been a long time since I saw the film, but I know he (and the band's name) was influenced The Doors to Perception.

Answer 3

i always thought he was reading a book of poetry he wrote........i could be wrong
