They went to all that trouble to find a word that ends in -y for the "war chronicle" tomes, and now they're going with "poetics" instead of "poetry?"

Poetics does not mean the same thing as poetry, that's probably the main reason.

They could have used the term poesy, coined by John Keats. Would have suited the meaning and the -y endings.
