Negative Positive
Title: 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.
