Synopsis

Writing for entertainment, instruction, encouragement, and/or just plain sharing of perceptions, critiques, and moods, can be an edifying pastime and gift to the reader. That''s what "Payload From Poetria" delivers. It can be read cover to cover-the best approach-or selectively from the Table of Contents. Either way has the potential and promise of a siren-call to serendipity, a valuable and often providential commodity in today''s rapid-paced world of predictable uncertainties and un-realized expectations. How? By conjuring up a cloud of distraction with the world of words waiting to be recruited and arranged, to frame and even form beneficially influential thoughts and images. "Payload..." is that kind of useful literary accessory, prompting subliminal curiosity about word choices, and an awareness of their power. The author claims these words art "Poeple", inhabitants of Poetria, a world in an adjacent galaxy! In this second book of a trilogy ("Deep Space Probe To Poetria" being the first), he carries on his preposterous claim from Book one. The reader''s challenge is to profit from and enjoy his attempt, while letting others near you on the subway, bus, or in the cafeteria, see you laughing at the very idea of being at all influenced by the author''s seemingly vacuous meanderings.

About this title

About the Author:

This, the second of a trilogy, as well as "Deep Space Probe To Poetria" (Book 1) published in 2004 by AuthorHouse, could not have been written when the author''s desire was hot to do so over a half-century ago. That was when he first encountered the Poetrians (Who? Answer: E.T.s from beyond our Milky Way, word-creatures somewhat identified in his "Deep Space..." which introduction is also included in Book 2) at the dawn of his writing career. But being a fledgling adult, he was then not yet able to be one of their ambassadors in Versedom''s version of the InterGaiactic United Nations. Why? He had met "Rabbi Ben Ezra", whose sagacious song from Robert Browning''s epic pen, would sing over and over again in his "Poetriafied" mind. Just Stanza I was all he needed to hear and follow: Grow old along with me!The best is yet to be, The last of life, for which the first was made:Our times are in His handWho saith "A whole I planned,Youth shows but half; trust God; see all nor be afraid!" Now, in another century, this senior survivor-not the good Rabbi - with the passion of his early fires intact, but not at all trapped in this much older frame, spills out his quilted-patchwork-zany mind as a blanket of thoughts in prose and poetry, to cover as you traipse through his palpable universe, so very, very somewhere else, and yet, so very near. Now, in this last of life for which the first was made, he churns out his personal best.
