THE POEMS OF JEWEL: A NIGHT WITHOUT ARMOUR

PRICE : £9.99 PUBLISHER: BOXTREE

A blonde, guitar strumming, multimedia phenomenon, Jewel is one of the most respected artists in popular music today. Her haunting debut album, Pieces Of You, has sold more than 10 million copies worldwide. With songs such as Who Will Save Your Soul and You Were Meant For Me dominating the top of the charts and four years of continuous touring, Jewel has established herself as a talented superstar. This year she will be touring in the UK and Ireland and appears in her first major motion picture debut To Live On, directed by Ang Lee (The Ice Storm, Sense and Sensibility).

This Alaskan singer, who dated Sean Penn, is much more than just a music industry success. Before her gifted songwriting comes an even more individual art: poetry. It is these heartfelt poems that reveal her youthful musings on everything from sexuality to fame to homelessness. There are images of the road, the people, the bars, the planes, the places exotic and mundane, loneliness and friendship.

Frank and honest, serious and suddenly playful this collection of poems taken from her journal, is a talented artist's intimate portrait of what makes us uniquely human. Intimate and inspiring, these words will be embraced by a dedicated following hungering for more and varying works from Jewel.
