What a beautiful person, singer, and writer!
Listened to The Joe Rogan Experience where he interviewed Jewel, and it inspired me so much. I want to read all her work!

Chasing Down the Dawn is a collection of diary-like musings/experiences presented in a non-chronological stream of consciousness flow, interleaved with photographs and drawings. It was a relaxing, interesting read. I was surprised how much I liked the book. I enjoyed reading about her unique perspective/experiences from a childhood in rural Alaska to the independent/supportive/nomadic/unstructured upbringing to developing her talent and her career and finally, to fame and fortune.

I would never have even known this existed, except that I need an audiobook of poetry for a challenge, and this came up on overdrive as 'available now' and 'poetry'. It's not poetry, but it was reasonably enjoyable listening while driving. The thing about Jewel is that she has good storytelling skills, but she thinks she's deeper than she is. Or at least she did. I can't say I've listened to anything by her since 'Intuition' came out in 2004. Her short story stream of consciousness memoir is much the same: decent story telling, slightly pretentious. The proclamations of devotion to artistic integrity ring a little hollow in the wake of Intuition, but hey this is who she thought she was 20 years ago.
