Celebrity Poets
After watching this video on Jim Brock's blog of actress Sally Kirkland reading her poetry (check out the outfit), it reminded me of other celebrities who feel the need to publish their poetry.
If you know of celebs who write and/or publish poetry, add to the list. All of these links are to Amazon.com in case you would like to see the book covers ... or purchase copies -- whatever floats your boat.
A Night Without Armour, Jewel (singer)
The Lords and the New Creatures, Jim Morrison (singer, deceased)
The Forest of Love: A Love Story in Blank Verse, Jack Palance (actor, deceased). I have an autographed copy of this book--got it as a gag gift.
Touch Me, Suzanne Sommers (acrtress)
Yesterday I Saw the Sun: Poems, Ally Sheedy (actress)
Always a Reckoning and Other Poems, President Jimmy Carter. Actually, Carter's poetry is pretty good so I really don't consider him in the same category as the others.
Blinking with Fists: Poems, Billy Corgan (singer)

Comments
Don't get me started on celebrity books for children...
But I did read some of poet Beau Sia's parody book, which was just wrong (but funny).
Whose foot on the treadle
That turns the burning stars
Has spun the world half way round
Since last I called
Come down, dome down.
