Description

Tyranmatón is the king of the vast ancient Persian Empire. He aspires to be a god. In the Book of Esther in the bible he is named Ahasué, which may have been the best a Hebrew tongue could do with Xerxes. His queen, the beautiful Vashti, commits a crime against his manhood. The biblical tale focuses on Esther (Aestherah), but a modern reader may well find Vashti and her defiance of the king to be more compelling. Tyranmatón, like the Book of Esther, begins with Vashti's crime and with a parady of Persian bureaucracy as its operatives meet with Tyranmatón to decide Vashti's punishment. She is sent into excile in a small, upper apartment in a far corner of the massive royal palace at Persepolis. Much of her tale is told through entries in her "exilic diary." Uniquely,the poems that comprise Tyranmatón imply but do not spell out, a narrative. In "Tyranmatón Hears the Prayers of his people," we find the king carrying out his official duties, and in "Tyranmatón Seeks Legal Counsel Regarding Vashti's Crime" we find him in agony of insulted personhood and earnest pursuit of legal niceties. His character and mind are revealed in "Tyranmatón and the Tests of Hume" and in "Tyranmatón Appoints a Minister of Culture." With regard to treatment of his new queen, he receives "Advice Regarding Deflowering." Meanwhile, the attitudes toward him of his subjects/victims is revealed in "The Philisopher Drinks Tea at the Coffeehouse," "The High Priest and Poet Laureate Meet for Tea," and "Tyranmatón Examines the Mood of his People." The poet Rumi appears briefly as an aide to justice. In her exilic diary, Vashti reveals much about Tyranmatón's character, but much more about her own. She questions the value of beauty, reviews her love life, and considers the power of man in relation to the power of white tigers. From her window high above one of the vast courtyards of the palace she witnesses a massacre of her people seemingly by themselves, as carried out by Tyranmatón's soldiers, and she is forever changed by the experience. In her last days, she bravely faces up to the way she must die and triumps, at least spiritually. But Tyranmatón lives on, for he is the universal man empowered by religion and violence. Only in a future well beyond even our time, does he finally fade from history, as revealed in "Tyranmatón" and the Last Days of Tyranmatón" - but whether the new age of Jumellism will be an advance, perhaps even a salvation for human kind is necessarily a great unkown. The poems that tell the tale are in a variety of styles, tones, and form. They are so accessible that Tyranmatón qualifies as a "good read." Nevertheless, the poems also are rich enough in subtext, psychological and social insight, powerful imagery, and subtle meanings that even a postmodern eye might appreciate them.
