I'm in & out of town a lot this week, so I will not be my usual informative self... More details will be forthcoming, but here's some brief info on some upcoming things: 1) HarperCollins is sponsoring an online Poetry Contest open to all Jewel fans/poets. You can enter this contest & find out all the details by going to: http://www.tvgen.com/jewel/index.htm Later today, Harper Collins will be sending out the press releases about this & I'll try to post that when I get it. 2) Jewel will be doing 2 upcoming LIVE CHATS. The first one will be exclusively for AOL members on June 3rd. It's being done via the VH1/AOL website, I think. I'll post details when I get em. The second LIVE CHAT will be done via Yahoo & will be open to all with web access on June 8th. Again, I don't yet have details but will post when I do. 3) Atlantic Records will be webcasting the Jewel Poetry reading tonight (at a later date). Again, I don't know details but check the Atlantic site for more info soon. Please do not write me asking for more info as I'm not home, & not answering any email until next week sometime. If I find out more on any of these things, I'll either post or call your trusty list moderator Mike, who can forward the info to all of you. Running........

MrBB Go to: http://www.tvgen.com/jewel/contest.htm THE OFFICIAL JEWEL ONLINE POETRY CONTEST Now that you've read Jewel's poems, here's a chance to let her read one of your own creations. Enter the Official Jewel Online Poetry Contest! All you have to do is submit to us an original, previously unpublished poem in the space below. Jewel will choose one grand-prize winner and 10 runners-up after our judges — led by poet Bob Holman, dean of the spoken-word scene and co-owner of Mouth Almighty/Mercury Records and his panel of Po Masters — select the top 30 entries. Entries will be judged on originality, vision, how well they evoke their subject matter, creative use of language and degree of imagination. No submissions may be fewer than 10 words or more than 75 words in length. Entries must be received no later than 11:59 pm/ET on June 16, 1998, when the contest officially closes. One grand prize of $500 will be awarded; Jewel will match that amount and donate it to the charity of the grand-prize winner's choice. The grand-prize winner and the 10 runners-up will receive a signed copy of Jewel's book A Night Without Armor and a copy of the CD audio version of A Night Without Armor. In addition, the winning poems will be published here on the TVGEN site in July. Please read the rules carefully before entering. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 19 May 1998 08:36:22 -0700 From: moonsong@ix.netcom.com (Us) Subject: ET: heya Hi angelic poets, :) Gosh I sure do go in spurts now don't I?
