The Ruby Moon by writer and performance poet Ruby Jebbour is a narrative poem, a dense and beautiful journey through time-a conglomerate fusion of verse touching life, nature, spirituality, religion, and history. The Ruby Moon is where Jewish thought, history, and mysticism meet the Red Road of the Native Americans-their teachings and traditions, and as well the beauty and wisdom of the Islamic world. By virtue of her quest to comprehend her own life and tragedy, the poet's eye is able to perceive far beyond the scope of her own experience, unearthing the deeply spiritual and philosophical aspects of existence from the Garden of Eden to the modern day. The Ruby Moon is intricate and multi-faceted and captures the inter-relatedness of these worlds. The Journey is gripping and exhilarating, yet subtle and sweet-the author's master of language and poetic genius allows the reader to comprehend and delight in the subject matter without being immediately aware of traveling at such a high velocity through time. The poet's eye and personal life experience becomes center to life revolving-seeing ancient times in the modern day. The soul of nature sings a secret language here and history writes an epic song.
