Title: This is poetry?
Review: Unfortunateley this is what passes as poetry today! As an English Literature major I was looking forward to reading a book of contemporary poetry that would inspire me. Instead what I found are verses that could hardly be called poems. The rhymes are childish and the phrasing forced. The ideas presented are worn and repeated. Jewel does not even offer a new interpretation on the issues she adresses. At best this is a rough collection of ideas for poems (as presented by someone who does not know what poetry is). Save your money and buy a real book of poetry.
