With "neo-poem/matik-x" and "neo-poe-matik-x" as immediate possibilities, the title here is a portmanteau at least twice over as well as an ueber-index of literary allusion. The latter morph map ("neo-poe-matik-x" ) points to, and enhances, the picture wall: the neo-[Edgar Allan P]oe("The Cask of Amontillado")-matik-x. Clever multiplicity, indeed.
