  • #NoJewels is the narrative style poetry book that inspired the music.

    This book of lines, devices, stanza and spaces hopes to serve them all. Tai Allen writes from a place in which understanding trauma and pain are not meant to be permanent; emergence and peace are better company.

about

A chance to hear how words can inspire music. these tunes are not poems set to music. Rather the songs were curated or crafted to parallel the moods, vibes and energies of the poems.

No Jewels tackles some serious topics. The soundtrack handles it all with mood music; music to dance to; and, some jawns to nod and shoulder bounce with.

This is a soundtrack not a poetry album -- i just happen to be a poet!

[PS: Spend $14 or more bucks and get the book, No Jewels, emailed as a PDF and mailed as a book to you. (Shipping incl'd.)]
