Who Needs Ted Hughes?
When a ropey pop star poetry book sells two - yes, that's right - two million copies.
A Night Without Armor, Jewel's book of poetry, has now sold over two million copies in United States.
According to the preface, the Alaskan-born singer "explores the fire of first love, the fading of passion, the giving of trust, the lessons of betrayal and the healing of intimacy" in the book. A sample poem is A Couple Sitting On A Beach
which consists of four simple lines: "He's the skinny one of the two/He reminds her of it constantly/He's a very funny guy that way/Ha-ha as she wobbles-to-walk wobbles-to-walk."
A Night Without Armor is published by Harper Collins in the UK in May. Meanwhile Jewel is also making her acting debut later this year in a new Ang Lee film, Ride With The Devil.
