American Night

American Night is a collection of poetry by Jim Morrison, front-man for the 1960s psychedelic rock group, The Doors, published in 1990 (after his death in 1971). The title is eponymous with a poem that appears on the album American Prayer, itself a collection of spoken word and musical vignettes released in 1978. The book consists of his theories on night.

The book is a follow-up to Wilderness: The Lost Writings of Jim Morrison (which was published in 1988).

Famous quotes containing the words american and/or night:

    It is always dangerous to generalise, but the American people, while infinitely generous, are a hard and strong race and, but for the few cemeteries I have seen, I am inclined to think they never die.
    Margot Asquith (1864–1945)

    The night is freezing fast,
    To-morrow comes December.
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)
