I've looked it up.. we have The Book of Nods here at my library (also by Jim Carroll) No luck finding the other title, but I'll go & have a look at this one. Thanks for the recommendation!

I typed a few poems of his so you can have an idea of what I am talking about. I hope you'll enjoy them as much as I did when my eyes first touched his words

Oooh... VERY nice.
I was thinking yesterday as I was looking at The Book Of Nods.. his mood often feels similar to the one expressed by the character in David Bowie's OUTSIDE, in the song "The Voyeur Of Utter Destruction (As Beauty)":
I shake And stare at the sun Till my eyes burn I shake At the mothers brutal vermin I shake And stare at the watery moon With the same desire As the sober Philistine And I shake (Turn and turn again) Worm, the pain and blade Turn and turn again
The screw Is a tightening Atrocity I shake For the reeking flesh Is as romantic as hell The need To have seen it all The Voyeur of Utter Destruction As beauty I shake Turn and turn again I shake Turn and turn again I shake [x3]
Research has pierced All extremes of my sex Call it a day Call it a day Needle point life Blinds the will to be next Call it a day [repeat] Today [repeat ad. inf]
It's the lyrics, as well as the mood which the music itself overwhelmingly presents. Do you know this song?

I shake
And stare at the sun
Till my eyes burn
I shake
At the mothers brutal vermin
I shake
And stare at the watery moon
With the same desire
As the sober Philistine
And I shake
(Turn and turn again)
Worm, the pain and blade
Turn and turn again
The screw
Is a tightening Atrocity
I shake
For the reeking flesh
Is as romantic as hell
The need
To have seen it all
The Voyeur of Utter Destruction
As beauty
I shake
Turn and turn again
I shake
Turn and turn again
I shake [x3]
Research has pierced
All extremes of my sex
Call it a day
Call it a day
Needle point life
Blinds the will to be next
Call it a day [repeat]
Today [repeat ad. inf]
