Then, returning in 'Payload From Poetria, ' we brought back a cargo of poeple, i.e. Poetrians. But, this familiarity with the realm of Poetrians caused the writer's dark side to overpower and break through his consciousness as 'Alter' in 'Musings Of The Mad Poet From Poetria, ' indicting Lauria as the Mad Poet, rather than he, the Parallel Universe Ego  Now, Lauria re-emerges as the dominant poet, accepting the unjust designation 'Mad, ' and sublimating his desire to avenge the indignity, by bringing forth a fourth book-not part of the Poetrian Trilogy, but one in which the Poetrians take on the work of unidentified anonymous internists (not to be confused with worms). Their objective? To stirre your soule and moove your bowelles  Can they do it? Well, let me report to you that mine soule hath been stirred and mine bowelles have been mooved  Am I being too subjective, too presumptive, too everything else in thinking you will experience the same? Perhaps, but that is for you to reflect upon after reading. I can only assure you that once your soule is stirred, your bowelles will be moved  Sincerely, Anonymous P.S. I too, like the internists, must remain anonymous. Why? So that my identity and fabulous career in the Arts does not overshadow Lauria's. Is this not awesome humility? Let's give it up for me","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51282036949265,"sku":"NIN9781425959555","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52336334668049,"sku":"NLS9781425959555","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1425959555.jpg?v=1751404237"},{"product_id":"deep-space-probe-to-poetria-book-j-j-lauria-9781418425395","title":"Deep Space Probe to Poetria","description":"A thought-provoking quasi-philosophical sci\/fi adventure exploring the worlds of words, expressions, and images; in prose and poetry.

Well, the narrator of this book, Stinko Ole, that's his name, is not a fly on the wall but rather a neighbee on the stoop, most of the time. And this stooped person, is far from stupid, but tells us the dirt, or for those who abhor dirt, gives us the scoop on what makes the folks who cross that stoop tick. We're talking about the ones who live in the building. Perhaps you grew up in one or live in one now, or if a private house-dweller, won- der how people in such places relate to each other. The guy repeats himself, and seems obsessed with respect for the NYPD, and sees his neighbees in the ideal, as clumps of wet and dry leaves stuck together on the drainholes of the steel sewer grate at the end of the curb gutter in the street. The clumping keeps them from going down the drain, which is his expectation for all humanity. When this clumping is done with CLR, i.e. Courtesy, Love, and Respect, that clumper fits his bill as a real neighbee. He repeats himself often with bizarre analogies and metaphor, and at times makes one wonder if the author is hiding in this freaky frame. One must read Neighbees to arrive at an educated guess or at least a maybee.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52418321842449,"sku":"NLS9781468525205","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53626608714001,"sku":"NIN9781468525205","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781468525205.jpg?v=1758925869"},{"product_id":"poom-book-j-j-lauria-9781438989075","title":"Poom!","description":"From time to time on Poetria there are explosions resulting from pombs detonated by Poetrians.

Then, later on Mark Twain wrote, Why shouldn't truth be stranger than fiction? Fiction, after all, has to make sense. And what says the author of Foibles.? That truth, though often stranger than fiction, is not always so. In Foibles. any reader with reasonable discernment would likely conclude it contains much strange fiction, and undeniably some truth. Separating the two is not the author's desire for his reading audience. It is rather to motivate readers-while entertaining them-to revisit history via biographies of our past Presidents, and other media sources be they literature or film\/TV presentations, and taste of the times in which they lived and we didn't. Now, what can you call a work mixing fact with fiction? Were it a play or film, Docudrama might fit. But being a book, that would be misleading, especially where much narrative is involved. And so, be it established here henceforth and forevermore, the coining of a descriptive name: Faction, combining both fact and fiction  Yes, Foibles. is a work of Faction, and is crafted to provide for its reader, action  Hopefully, you'll find it so. If not, then read a fraction of this faction before bedtime, have pleasant dreams, and call my receptionist in the morning to report your satisfaction. J. J.
