"A Night without armor" Jewels first attempt at published poetry, was released late 1998. Contains over 85 poems written and read by Jewel. Book available hard cover, soft cover, cassette and CD. If you love Jewel and you love her songs, then you'll love this book. I recommend buying it on CD first, that way you can hear the poems read in Jewels 'tone'. This is what Jewel had to say: "I learned how to add and subtract in school; I learned how to be a human by reading poetry- Pablo Neruda, Octavuio Paz, Maya Angelou. I came to depend on poetry in the darkest years of my life, and it's been my greatest liberator- making me intimate with myself, awakening and empowering my mind. And so, even more then my song-writing, it stays closest to my heart" -Jewel Kilcher
