Hmmmmmmmmmmmm. I love what you pos...Hi there, Rhi. <br />Hmmmmmmmmmmmm. I love what you posted here, but frankly, I would not buy "A Night Without Armor".When it first came out, I wondered how it was she could get a $5 Million Dollar "advance". So I read the entire book at the bookstore, and was very disappointed.<br />Although I LOVE her singing, her style, and her HEART, I felt that book(A Night Without Armor) was overwrought and the "poetry" was cliche'--which if you're trying to write poetry, and you rely on cliches', well, you're not wriing poetry.<br />There are so many great deserving female poets out there, it is upsetting to see that much money thrown at someone just because they are a rock/pop idol.<br />Contemporary Woman poets who speak of love, and angst, and relationships, who you may enjoy reading:<br />Cecilia Woloch<br />Karen Head<br />Beth Gylys<br />Maureen Seaton <br />Denise Duhamel<br />Melissa Fondakowski(has a blog called "Poet With A Day Job")<br />Anne Haines(has a blog called "Land Mammal")<br />Contemporary male poets you may enjoy:<br />Collin Kelley(his blog, Modern Confessional, has lots of what he calls "po-biz" updates in it)<br />Mark Doty<br /> I DO think Jewel is a great singer, a strong woman, a great role model(she definitely worked hard to get where she is, and sacrificed much, delayed gratification, etc. in order to fulfill her dream of becoming a singer).<br />I also think she'll be much better at writing poetry, in a few years, when she has more life experience to inform it.<br />Just my thoughts.Lisa Nanette Allenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15263158091013515471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14789760.post-33357301962586684672009-06-12T23:13:47.011-07:002009-06-12T23:13:47.011-07:00I, too, just love Jewel.

But then she did stick to her own dreams and never went the star route, and won my respect all the more. PBS has had several Jewel specials and I've recorded them. I have not read either of her books and will keep them in mind. <br />I didn't much care for the whole Dancing With the Stars junk that she and her husband got themselves into recently. He didn't impress me at all.Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135393270656573516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14789760.post-46456217922969935582009-06-11T02:29:46.395-07:002009-06-11T02:29:46.395-07:00Dear Rhi,

We had been sitting outside with Tuffy reading and listening to so MANY! baby starlings screeching as they demanded their moms feed them ... it was enough to drive you nuts, except also cute. I am so glad you liked your stuff. I will reply here instead of your email for now. Man! I found the most PERFECT comforter, shams and 3 decorative pillows ... very lightweight silky soft burgundy with gold embroidery at my "favorite shopping place" ;oD but unfortunately it was $45 for the comforter and another $4 ea for the pillows...but a steal nonetheless! I just KNEW there'd be something if I hung in there, but alas, I already picked out your stuff ;o( I wish I could afford it I'd send you another box. I'm sure they all would've been somewhere around $200 or more. It was good to hear your voice ... and by the way! I LOVE your new photo on this blog! We'll see each other one day, I do believe!<br />Love, Kyle xoKylitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04361176863365659529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14789760.post-49993509944075012142009-06-05T23:53:41.443-07:002009-06-05T23:53:41.443-07:00Great words from and about a Jewel from a true Gem...Great words from and about a Jewel from a true Gem of a friend...Rhi!<br />p.s.

I like h...Awesome writings from the excerpt alone.<br /><br />I like her songs, but only realized she has other talents such as writings. Her songs have powerful meanings and poetic yet very commercial and listenable.<br /><br />Awesome lady.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing.
