History
What is Tribal Soul Kitchen?
Tribal Soul Kitchen began its life as an outgrowth of the Ancient Gallery on the Official Doors website. Fans gathered together, to chat, and share their own poetry, music and art.
In 1997 we became TRiBE, and in 1999 we changed our name to Tribal Soul Kitchen. Over the years the focus has shifted, though community has remained an important part of the Soul Kitchen. Jim Morrison’s music and poetry are still held dear by all members of the editorial staff. For the first decade, articles were still written about our memories of his music, and the current activities of surviving band members. We also published articles on those musicians of today who were igniting our souls. But most of what we published was original poetry, fiction and art. We felt (and still feel) that is the best way to honor an artist. Not by obsessively praising him. Not by imitating him. But by going out and creating our own art. In our own style.
In 2010 we further refined our mission as we rebooted TSK after a period of languishment. We now focus on poetry, though we maintain our extensive archives.
