Runaway Clowns (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798999115027)

Runaway Clowns is a poetry collection for the ones who smile in public and fall apart in private. Luke H. Snyder peels back the painted grin and unzips the tent to reveal the mess beneath the spectacle-where laughter and joy is often just a well-rehearsed routine.

These poems wander through abandoned fairgrounds, broken mirrors, childhood illusions, and adult unmaskings. With raw honesty and casual grace, Snyder explores what it means to run from the roles we never asked to play-and what's left when the costume no longer fits.

This is for anyone who ever packed a suitcase in the middle of the night-metaphorically or not-and asked, Who am I when no one's watching?
