Summary: wow...
Review: i was amazed. I didn't think celebrity writing could get much worse than bob dylan's "tarantula" but here it is. the hackneyed imagery and total lack of any sort of emotional rhythm made this book a quite torturous read. the masochists of the poetry world thank you deeply, ms. kilcher

Summary: Overall the book did not even grasp comtemporary poets.
Review: Jewel is a great singer/songwriter, but her book A Night Without Armor was not what I had hoped and expected. I myself am a poet and what she had written were mere thoughts of a moment she cast on paper. Some should not even be considered poems, but fragments of broken and diminished sentences, not caught in full. Anyone with an idea can write like that. I found only a couple of her little over a hundred poems to actually have a poetic touch to it. Believe me I know that not all poems are meant to be understood by all, but only the poets themselves. But quite a few of these should never have been published to be used as gap fillers. Again I commend Jewel for her talent in music, but she should leave poetry to rest until she develops a true raw talent for it.

Summary: Jewel offers warm personal insight to her life so far...
Review: I'm not sure what I expected from a "music" star but I was pleasanrtly surprised at her honesty and, at times, depth on very personal subjects. I would highly reccommend this book, especially to young people 18 and older. I found it to be a warm, thought provoking collection of "stories" that show a talent for writing.

Summary: thank you for your praise of my novel
Review: I just want to thank the 51 people who wrote their comments of my book of poetry. I was very nervous letting this book out, letting the world see the inner workings of Jewel's mind. Yet, I thought, what am I if not honest? This book is a starting point, and I hope to progress from here. I appreciate everything you have done for me, and it sincerely gives me a feeling of warmth that you have spent time reading my ramblings. Thanks again!

Summary: Jewel Kilcher: My Heroine
Review: Since the first time I saw her on a late night talk show roughly three years ago, I was taken with the autour of this book. She is, of course, the goddess-on-earth, and singer extrodinar, Jewel. Upon opening the book, I cried. something about one on the first few works in this book gave me such a picture as to weep. I'm not completely sure why. It wasn't sadness. It just had to be done. I continued on through the thing, a few every night. Jewel's thoughts on life have thus far had me laugh and cry. Some of her stuff is life lessons in poetic form. They are thought provoking, in the least, and glorious in the most. She had many analogies that would neveer even occure to me. Comparing love to speeding traffic, for instance. Or meeting Spivy Leaks: a drip of a man. If you are a thinker, an artist, a lover, or filled with passion and emotion, this book is good company. P.S. I Love You, Jewel

Summary: Not Even Close
Review: She's Beautiful, she's talented but she's definitely NOT a poet. She just scratches the surface of poetry. This THING was obviously not published because of its artistic quality. Just a bunch of people trying to make a few (a lot!) extra bucks.

Summary: Great reading.
Review: Great reading even if you're not an avid poetry fan. EVERY young woman in America should read Jewel's poem "Sara Said" before going out on a date.

Summary: Jewel talent for poetry is as great as it is for music
Review: Although I don't usually buy books of poetry, I had to purchase Jewel's. These poems seem familiar to me, they seem to express my feelings about certain things even as Jewel writes them about her own experiences, and I'm sure they must seem to do so for other readers too. My favorite poem in the book is Bukowsky's Widow. I nearly cried after I read it. Buy this book! You won't regret it.
