This book of poems is best enjoyed with a cup of tea, a favorite scented candle, and several flowers in water which will aid the journey toward nine mediative messages at the end. Are these lessons that will solve the dilemmas of the speakers? Conceptions that everyone must submerge themselves inside? Mediative experiences for survival?

The poetry in Monologues In the House of Fun Mirrors develops through a design of multiple meanings, all of which dive deeply into the disposition, emotional state, and personality of each speaker.

The prelude announces the mood of the Dream Circle. It's an environmental pathway revealing the endless options in life.

Much like the maze of mirrors in a funhouse carnival, fair, or amusement boardwalk, the reader will soon discover the journey we travel in life does not reflect so many illusionary appearances but rather ones of cause and effect.

The subject matter and narrators in the Concave World and the Convex Realm show one commonality, an analysis of psychological moments in the human mind. But that's where it all ends. What further takes place is left for unearthing by the reader.

Each dramatic monologue epitomizes indescribable experiences and word pictures to portray meaning and insight about ways of behaving, passions connected to desires, sensations linked to rages, visions of innocence and experience, and psychosocial influences tied to obsessions.

The poems in the Concave World function as a map for a networking journey into a complicated world of distortions similar to the curved interior images in a house of fun mirrors. Once entered, the innocent fun evolves into confusion where everyone must come face to face with their surrealistic selves.

The heightened stream-of-consciousness voices in the Convex Realm exhibit human beings on the verge of frightful remembrance and forgetfulness where they're attempting to seek some type of closure while at the same time they're unaware of the voyages of their unconscious minds not formed by personal encounters in their real environments.
