Time's Tyranny
"Jean P. Moore’s first book of poems immediately establishes her as a poet of authority and delicacy. Her range, command, and subtlety conjure some aspects of Robert Frost, or Jean Valentine, or Elizabeth Bishop; she combines in perfect balance a lyric gift with a meditative inclination. Time’s Tyranny is a book of memory and swift reckonings, but also a book incarnating the immanent now." –Maureen N. McLane, New York University, author of This Blue, the National Book Award Finalist in Poetry, My Poets, and Some Say.
