My poem “The Most Beautiful Clown in the Circus” appears in the inaugural issue of Lamp Lit. The poem was inspired by my visit to the David Bowie exhibit at Gropius Bau several years ago, where I got to see his Pierrot costume. Bowie had told the designer to make him “the most beautiful clown in the circus.” How could I pass that up for inspiration?
