And then there are the images of the road, the people, the bars, the planes, places exotic and mundane, loneliness and friendship.

Frank and honest, serious and suddenly playful, "A Night Without Armor" is a talented artist's intimate portrait of what makes us uniquely human.

In "A Night Without Armor," her first collection of poetry, Jewel explores the fire of first love, the fading of passion, the giving of trust, the lessons of betrayal, and the healing of intimacy.

I've learned that not all poetry lends itself to music-- some thoughts need to be sung only against the silence. There are softer and less tangible part(s) of our selves that are so essential to peace, to open heartedness, to unfolding the vision and the spiritual realm of our lives, to exposing our souls.- Jewel, From the Preface.

She delves into matters of the home, the comfort of family, the beauty of Alaska, and the dislocation of divorce.

Writing poems and keeping journals since childhood, Jewel has been searching for truth and meaning, turning to her words to record, to discover, and to reflect.
