A Night Without Armor by Jewel
2.0
I used to love Jewel's music. She had a soft and poetic way of taking words and transforming them into these musical and lyrical wonders. When I picked up "A Night Without Armor" from my local thrift shop, I had a feeling it was going to be wonderful. I loved her music, I love poetry, what could go wrong?
Losing yourself in honey-thick gravity for one thing. (Night Fall, p 61). There were poems that I read three.... four.... five times and were still leaving me going "wtf did she just say." The artwork displayed in the book was less than mediocre. Good heavens, even that is being generous.
The only thing that kept this rating out of a 1 (can you do less than one?) was for the last six pages of the 140 page book of poetry. "The Tangled Roots of Willows," "Goodness," and "God Exists Quietly" were earthy, and deeper than describing her boobs as a couple of shiny moons.
This book will head back into the donation pile for me.
Happy Reading (just maybe not this book)!
