Some of Jewel's poetry has been included in previous releases, like in her album "Pieces Of You" and in a lot of her singles. However, she released a poetry book called "A Night Without Armor" in 1998, which was a New York Times Best Seller, selling about 500,000 copies. From the preface of the book are the following lines:
"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 parts of our selves that are so
essential to peace, to openheartedness, to
unfolding the vision and the spiritual realm of
our lives, to exposing our souls."
