Book Reviews of A Night Without Armor : Poems
Book Review: let those throw the first stone
Summary: 4 Stars
a well known and respected poet once said in an answere to a fans question. what do you say of those who call your work illigitimate? "my dear i speak to hear myself, i write to see myself, i set these both aprint so others might understand what i do not, my own mind. so those that rate talent as bad i feel truley sorry for because they understand less than i do, not only do they not understand themselves but they understand less in others. those that reconize talent no matter how small are the the wisest and most talented of all". this book will teach those who did not know, to know. i recommend it not for critical merit, but for the lesson of the soul. read, learn, and cherish what makes us poets,all! the ability to create with no concern whether our creation is good or bad. as for all the expert poets of coffee houses and universities, i fear the fact our creative intellect is left in your callous hand. prehaps this is why the greatest poets of history, that you set so high and compare all, wrote outside your acadimic small minds. reread the very definition of poetry and relearn for yourselves, before you begin to presume to teach others.Book Review: Underrated
Summary: 4 Stars
Jewel wrote a book of simple, straight-forward poems that seem to be getting a lot of bad reviews. I wonder why. The imagery is so richly detailed that I couldn't help buying it. Since most of these poems were written in her late youth, about experiences that most have not yet had at this age, I think the negative criticism I've read is overly harsh. Her words are honest, beautiful, and introspective, and they are reflective of her life. I doubt that the so-called better writers that reviewed this book have lived a life half as remarkable as hers or have written anything half as insightful.Book Review: Brave, and beautiful
Summary: 4 Stars
Jewel Kilcher is my favorite artist and has been since her debut album Pieces of you. Her poetry was an inspiration to me to continue writing, and her words are bold, beautiful, and knowledgable. She is such an amazing person and I idoloze her in every way. She talks about her life in a form that many people do not understand. I find her book(s) to be informational, filled with morals and the best works that I have ever read. I hope that she never turns into one of these pop cultured people who write for more money and dont care about her fans.She is most definitely one in a million.Book Review: Suprisingly interesting
Summary: 4 Stars
I picked up this book of poetry off a sale table in the local book store, not at all sure what to expect. As a young woman, close to the author's age, I found her work surprisingly moving. Her poems are an origional emotional barage, touching and full of sting, whitty and reflective, intelligent yet youthful.I particullarly enjoyed the fact that the poetry seems to stem from all parts of her life: family, career, love, adolescence, childhood. If you're looking for something fresh, this is a wonderful composition of poetry to pick up.
Book Review: Simplistically beautiful
Summary: 4 Stars
I seriously don't know what it is, but there's something about Jewel that just seems to pull me in. This book of poems is beautiful. It just flows. There's this simplistic, natural, sensual, soulful, flowy feeling throughout her words. She doesn't need to try, it just happens. These words are soul food. Whatever fix you need, you can find it in here. There's also words in here that I keep close to my heart. Just flick through, read right through, read one everyday. It doesn't matter, but just read it. Jewel's words are bliss. Peace.
