Musings of The Mad Poet from Poetria

By J.J. Lauria

In this third book of the "Poetria" trilogy, the author gives way to his alter-ego, "Alter", from the p. u. (parallel universe) who delivers a course in p. u. astrology, i.e. "The Signs of The Fortune Cookiac", a useful guide to the constellations in the p.u., followed by an even more helpful essay, "How To Tell If A Poet Is Mad", then thirty-one synopses to thirty-one poems of the Madman, each sandwiching in a view from the Port window of the author's homemade spacecraft, the breathtaking S.S. Galactophonema. The thirty-one poems range (or better said, "de-range") from the circus sideshow subculture, to the Blind Nudists Conventions, Papal audience precautions at the Vatican, and a creative Will and Last Testament that could postpone dying. The "Musings" consist of all the above, and are preceded by the author's remorseful discovery on the book's dedication page, that he is a Twentyfirst Century "decadent" as defined therein, and wherein he implicates his p.u. ego. Obviously, this is the lot and fate of close association with people, i.e. Poetrians. Does such a condition end with a trilogy? It's doubtful, but really, only time will tell, yes?
