Overview

In today's world, actual money (i.e. cash) has become more of an existential concept.


"CASHING CHECKS with Jim Morrison offers a surreal cascade of archetypes from, among others, ancient Greece, the Bible, American Literature, and pop culture. Moving through it is the speaker's companion spirit and guru, Jim Morrison-Lizard King, Narcissus/Adonis. Set in a world where, in Albert Einstein's words, 'reality is merely an illusion, ' Lindsey Martin-Bowen's poems are alive with wit, evocative imagery, insight, and sometimes downright playfulness. Through heeding Morrison's counsel to 'go weirder, ' she's made this collection reader-friendly."

"In Lindsey Martin-Bowen's CASHING CHECKS with Jim Morrison, I relish every word, compelled by the poet's stories and singing voice. Fantasy and fact merge in these invocations of the seminal American rocker Morrison and of his spirit. Join me as a reader in exploring this exciting testament to the power of language to resurrect history and wonder."

-Denise Low, Kansas Poet Laureate, 2007-2009
