Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is a collection of Mojo's poems, and as all poems and writings, they provide insight into interests, perceptions, experiences and latent attitudes towards occurrences. There are occasional B & W stills of Jim, and copies of the original poems in his own handwriting. Those familiar with his life and career will be able to tie in some of them to what you already know of him, while others provide insight into his thoughts about certain things. Here are two of my favorites:
LAMERICA
In my humble opinion "Lamerica" reveals his thoughts on suburban sprawl, encroaching development, and the never-ending tendency for humans to destroy the places where they live. How true then (Viking and explorers who extracted resources). And today in modern times: the "blue maps," being the back-roads of America off of the main interstates (hidden connections).....ending with the last 4 lines that is "end-all," or result.
LAMERICA
Trade routes
guidelines
the Vikings & explorers
discoveres
the unconscious
a map of the states
the blue hiways
beauty of a map
hidden connections
fast trampled forest
madness in a whisper
neon crackle
the hiss of tires
a city growls
rich, vast & sullen
like a slow monster
come to fat
& die
Here's another. More subjective. The curious to learn and experience coupled with wanderlust might interpret this in a personalized way, like I did.
THE OPENING OF THE TRUNK
moment of inner freedom
when the mind is opened
& the infinite universe revealed
& the sould is left to wander
dazed and confus'd searching
here and there for teachers and friends
