Yes, you read that correctly: "wild childs", with an "s". "Wild Child" is a song by the rock band from the 1960s and 1970s, "The Doors". Throughout the ensuing decades, their work, and the lead singer's published poetry, has appealed to many of those who felt that something was not quite right with "civilization".

Jim Morrison's posthumously published works of poetry offer a wonderful synthesis of Symbolist and Blakean poetics. What's more, they give us a window into an epic struggle for cultural change, and how it was suppressed.

So for the wild childs on your holiday gift list, please consider my new book, "Burning the May Tree: The Sacrifice of Jim Morrison".
