This notebook contains over 100 pages of notes, poems, opinions and thoughts in Morrison's handwriting, with numerous lines and words crossed out and edited, with many pages containing doodles and scribbles as he worked. Some of the writings appear to be drafts or complete versions of poems and passages published in The Lords/Notes on Vision, 1969, including The Happening and writings discussing the themes of cinema, photography and yoga. Some passages from The Lords are written verbatim, including the passage beginning Oswald kills President..., the passage beginning Principle of seance: to cure illness... and Cinema is most totalitarian of the arts.... Titles of other unpublished poems include Eye Poem, The Hive, Brothers on a Sundeck and Blood Castle.

Lyrics for songs released by The Doors, the majority of which were penned by Morrison, were heavily influenced by philosophy, poetry, paintings and film, especially those rooted in French culture and the writings in this notebook are a testament to those inspirations. Marcel Proust features heavily in the writings, with Morrison discussing various themes in A La Recherche Du Temps Perdu, including Vermeer and Odette...Jupien's Brothel...Swann must choose Vermeer or Odette, Red or Black. He takes the woman and loses... with other pages discussing Goethe's theory of vision. Morrison discusses photography and its influence on painters and artists, and discusses Francis Bacon and the bar he frequented with other artists in London, The Colony Room, which Morrison reportedly visited and which he calls Muriel's [Muriel Belcher owned The Colony Room and was a frequent subject of Bacon's work].
