Book Description
Poetry. Jim Behrle "has written a great book of poetry. . .Perhaps it's more like souvenirs from this megalomaniacal persona's adventures in mass culture. . .It's a cliche to talk about how in collage there is a tension between the original context of the collaged materials and the art piece. But I think Jimmy uses that tension incredibly well. It's not so much a tension between an original context and a poem as between a total commodity culture and a persona adrift in that culture - the persona is to such a large extent created by this culture (the sexual bragging, the stalking, the masturbating) but the persona still has enough autonomy to muck things up"-Johannes Goransson, coeditor of Action Books. Jim Behrle's poems have appeared most recently in Cannibal and The Tiny. Behrle lives in Brooklyn, NY.

Book Description
Jim Morrison... We all know the stories, but does anyone know the real man? If you don't know where the truth ends and the fiction begins, you're not alone. A misinformation barrage that started when Morrison was alive grew toxic in the years after his death. In an effort to disprove the lies and rumors, Frank Lisciandro, Jim's friend and film collaborator, gathered together more than a dozen of Morrison's friends for a series of interviews and conversations. From the transcripts of those talks Jim Morrison is candidly brought to light by the people who knew him, who were his pals, colleagues, mentors and lovers. Jim Morrison: Friends Gathered Together confronts and sweeps away the fantasy to illuminate an extraordinary man and gifted creative artist. The interviews and conversations covered a multitude of topics. The people who share their stories were themselves active participants in the West Coast music scene: musicians, concert promoters, publicists and band managers. Readers will discover funny stories, secrets revealed and truths more astounding than the fabrications published during and after Morrison's life. From his first year in high school and his student days at UCLA to the formation of The Doors and his rise to fame, the book weaves an amazing tapestry of information about Jim Morrison the poet, the brilliant lyricist, and the iconic singer and performer of The Doors. The book is a feast for Jim's fans worldwide and for curious readers who want to know the true Jim Morrison story. The conversations also offer a unique oral history of the turbulent Sixties when L.A.'s Sunset Strip was the focus of a cultural renaissance and musical revolution. The book contains 57 original Frank Lisciandro photographs, many never published before. Jim Morrison: Friends Gathered Together focuses on issues and occasions that illuminate an extraordinary man and gifted creative artist. By weighing the observations of those who knew him, the reader can reach his own conclusions about who Jim Morrison was and what he achieved. The result is a more accurate rendering, a more humane and truthful portrait.

Languages : en
Pages : 298
Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “The authors bring extreme climbing to life. . . . Perhaps no author can rationalize why some choose to risk their lives . . . for the thrill of conquering a mountain. The Ledge comes perilously close and tells a ripping true story at the same time.”—The Denver Post In June 1992, best friends Jim Davidson and Mike Price stood atop Washington’s Mount Rainier, celebrating what they hoped would be the first of many milestones in their lives as passionate mountaineers. Then their triumph turned tragic when a cave-in plunged them deep inside a glacial crevasse—the pitch-black, ice-walled hell of every climber’s nightmares. An avid adventurer since youth, Davidson was a seasoned climber at the time of the Rainier ascent. But the harrowing free fall left him challenged by nature’s grandeur at its most unforgiving. Trapped on a narrow frozen shelf, deep below daylight, he desperately battled crumbling ice, snow that threatened to bury him alive, and crippling fear of the inescapable chasm below—all the while struggling to save his fatally injured friend. Finally, alone, with little equipment and rapidly dwindling hope, he confronted a fateful choice: the certainty of a slow, lonely death or the near impossibility of an agonizing climb for life. A story of heart-stopping adventure, heartfelt friendship, fleeting mortality, and implacable nature, The Ledge chronicles the elation and grief, dizzying heights and punishing depths, of a journey to hard-won wisdom. “Plunges readers into a dark, icy chasm from which escape seems impossible. Then it reveals the strength it takes to look up, and to start climbing.”—Jim Sheeler, winner of the Pulitzer Prize and author of the National Book Award finalist Final Salute “How [Davidson] rescued himself is the core of The Ledge, and its most gripping part. The physical effort and will involved are astonishing.”—The Plain Dealer “A moving portrait of friendship and loss.”—The Wall Street Journal

Book Description
Leaving behind war in the Middle East, Jim Bemis and his buddy, Sandy, plan to pursue a peaceful life running a scuba diving business with Jims Uncle Rob in the Caribbean. On their way there, though, Jim learns that his uncles boat has been found adrift, covered in bullet holes and blood. Ron is presumed dead even though no body was found. The day Jim and Sandy arrive on Saint John Island, they are drawn into a series of events that make them suspect Ron is actually still alive but in hiding. Dangerous characters are on the lookout for Jims uncle due to something he may or may not have found at the bottom of the sea. The boys search for clues as to Rons potential whereabouts. It soon becomes apparent that not every friendly face on the island can be trusted. Their investigation leads them to both friend and foe while a hurricane wreaks havoc. Ron might be hiding, but there are those still willing to kill for the treasure found. Jim and Sandy are now targets, too, as a secret rises from the ocean depths and drowns them in a sea of danger.

Lakota Moon

Pages : 266
Book Description
The old Indian stopped his truck at the base of the mountain and got out. He walked slowly to the horse trailer behind and brought out his favorite mare, already saddled. He walked the horse to the front of the truck and let the reins fall limp to the ground. He reached into the cab of the truck and brought out two small boxes and placed them in the saddlebags. He mounted the horse, and they walked slowly into the moonlit night. The Indian, Running Bear, listened to the night as they walked slowly. For the inexperienced, walking these woods at night, even under the best conditions, could be a hazardous undertaking. But this Indian and his horse had traveled this path many, many times. He held the reins loosely in his hands and commanded the horse with gentle nudges from his knees. The horse responded without delay and maintained a steady, easy gait. For two and a half hours, they walked. The silence was deafening. No birds sang, no coyotes howled, no trees rustled even though there was a mild breeze in the air. No sound except the hooves of the unshod horse striking the ground. Finally, the Indian and his horse came to a small clearing halfway up the mountain. It was a spectacular view, even at night, seldom seen by anyone not of the Wolf River tribe. The old man dismounted, removed the saddlebags, and walked to the edge of the clearing where the view of the valley below was panoramic. He sat on the ground and with his knife dug two holes into the soft dirt, keeping the top, sun-bleached dirt separate from the darker soil beneath. When the holes were three feet deep, he stopped and reached into the saddlebag for the first box. The box was handmade of pine and appeared to be very old. He opened it and inspected the contents as he had done several times before tonight. An eagle feather with a leather tong wound tightly around the base, a scrap of cloth from a boy's shirt, a child's baby tooth, and a lock of hair carefully tied and resting in a thick, clear plastic case, remnants from a time long passed. "Not much to show for twenty-three years," the old man thought. He placed the items neatly in the box and closed it. There was no lock on the box, and the lid would not be nailed shut. It was simply placed in the hole. The second box was withdrawn from the saddlebag and likewise inspected. Another case with a lock of hair, an eagle feather the same as the other box, another scrap of a boy's shirt, another tooth, a portion of an arrow with the stone arrowhead still attached. Not much to show for twenty-one years. This box was placed in the other hole. The dirt was filled in on both, the sun-bleached dirt applied last to conceal the final resting place for his two sons. The extra dirt was gathered up and spread out around some desert blooms near the edge. An unsuspecting visitor would have great difficulty finding this place. The old man cut a branch from one of the bushes nearby, carefully concealing the cut. He spread the branch across the ground to conceal his footprints and those of his horse as he walked back down the mountain. He stopped at another clearing, this one smaller, but still with a clear view of the mountain and valley below. He stood quite erect and raised his arms above his head. He prayed to the Great Mystery and asked the spirits to accept his sons. He chanted the same chants used by his people since the beginning of their history. He would chant until daybreak then return to the world below.
