Overview
I've learned that not all poetry lends itself to music -- some thoughts need to be sung only against the silence. There are softer and less tangible part[s] of our selves that are so essential to peace, to openheartedness, to unfolding the vision and the spiritual realm of our lives, to exposing our souls.
- Jewel, From the Preface
Writing poems and keeping journals since childhood, Jewel has been searching for truth and meaning, turning to her words to record, to discover, and to reflect.
In A Night Without Armor, her first collection of poetry, Jewel explores the fire of first love, the fading of passion, the giving of trust, the lessons of betrayal, and the healing of intimacy.
She delves into matters of the home, the comfort of family, the beauty of Alaska, and the dislocation of divorce.
And then there are the images of the road, the people, the bars, the planes, places exotic and mundane, loneliness and friendship.
Frank and honest, serious and suddenly playful, A Night Without Armor is a talented artist's intimate portrait of what makes us uniquely human.

A Night Without Armor
Written by Amy Lepore from Belleview, FL on August 7th, 2007
- Book Rating: 4/5
I enjoyed this book of poetry very much. Subjects range from love and death to fitting in and exploring the world. I would have enjoyed it more if there had been light background music, but the poetry was quite musical on its own. There is much here to start a conversation, and much to help you teach adolescents about sensitive topics.

Unimpressive. Poems, as well as the readings, were bland and lacked fire and passion.
Stick to vocals

Jewel should stick to vocals. The content seems to have been written in grade school. I am sure there were grammar and spelling errors...but hard to tell during narration. Do not rent.
