Put simply, Kilmer was able to inhabit Morrison. Think back to what he writes early in his memoir about the many characters he portrayed in his movies: "I was and was not the character I played.

Many of the best pieces...combine the theoretical essay with poetry and personal narration, reflecting a breadth of emotion that most people keep tightly concealed. This is the book's primary purpose, to give voice to thoughts and feelings which have been privatized and occluded. - Publishers Weekly
Anzaldúa brings a poetic style steeped in Chicano/Chicana history and Aztec myth to bear upon issues that are too often treated in dry, theoretical terms...subverts the white middle-class perspective of much mainstream feminism with analysis, testimony, story, and song. - Utne Reader
