Ratings: 9 out of 10
Summary: Singer/Songwriter Jewel starts the forward of this poem by explaining that not all words lend itself to music, some words just belong in poems. She poetically tells of her life and the people around her, along with observances and her home, Alaska.
Favorite Quote/Part: “I look at young girls now/ in their crushed velour/ skin tight sky blue/ hip huggers with baby doll/ tank tops/ and I think/ I’ve been there/ God, Have I been there.” From I Look At Young Girls Now
Favorite Poems: I Look At Young Girls Now, Saved From Myself, and Sauna
How the Book Effected Me: The poems in the book all relate to the twenty- something crowd. There are many profound thoughts that have you feeling occasionally melancholic, but also leave you with a bit of hope. The free verse makes it easy to connect with and really inspired a spark for me to start writing my own poetry, which ended up being some of my favorite college classes. I have read this book at least twelve times now and every time I find something I love even more.
End Thought: This book is hard to grasp at first, it definitely takes a couple reads.
