Jean P. Moore's Time's Tyranny brims with images of life's simultaneity. Nature flourishes and dwindles, love heartens and crushes, joy and peace sustain and crumble. Birth, love, death under the watchful eye of the tyrant, time. National Book Award nominee for poetry, Maureen McLean has called Time's Tyranny "a book of memory and swift reckonings" and says, "Moore's work is simultaneously sensual and astringent." This is a poet who "combines in perfect balance a lyric gift with meditative inclination." Poet Judith Baumel calls Time's Tyranny a "wise and lovely collection," enabling readers "to experience both the tyranny and the magic of time."
