Poetic Obituaries: In 1992, Michael Jackson published

a slim volume of "poems and reflections" entitled Dancing The Dream.

It is a curious and, in the light of his death, poignantly revealing collection of writings on the subjects that were apparently close to his heart--music, dancing, God, his mother, the plight of the dolphin and children.

It is the nearest that Michael Jackson--a man who had long since transcended the need or desire for public confession and disclosure, and indeed, did everything within his power to avoid--ever came to autobiography.

from Telegraph: Michael Jackson, death by showbusiness
also STV: Michael Jackson recorded Robert Burns album
also Times of India: 'MJ was reading Tagore, last time we spoke'
