The Last Laugh - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Award-winning poet April Bulmer researched the art of clowning to write this wonderful book. Known as a writer who explores spiritual issues, April shares the significance of clowns in historical, cultural and religious contexts. She places these characters in sacred settings where she worships the smiles and frowns of clowns. Other poems reveal the prayers and pratfalls of jokers and mimes. The clown is also seen as Lord of circus rings or as messiah crucified. April proclaims the ups and downs of these clowns, for some societies resist laughing and crying out loud. Clowns challenge conventions. Ultimately, the collection is a new testament. The result is pure magic. Readers applaud and clap, for April’s clowns have the last laugh.
