Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Step right up for the Greatest Book on Earth! For more than 70 years, Clowns International—the oldest established clowning organization—has been painting the faces of its members on eggs. Each one is a record of a clown's unique identity, preserving the unwritten rule that no clown should copy another's look. This mesmerizing volume collects more than 150 of these portraits, from 1946 to the modern day, accompanied by short personal histories of many of the clowns. Here are Tricky Nicky, Taffy, Bobo, Sammy Sunshine, the legendary Emmett Kelly, and Jolly Jack, clowning since 1977 and still performing today with a penguin puppet named Biscuit. A treasure just like the eggs it enshrines, The Clown Egg Register is an extraordinary archive of images and lives of the men and women behind the make-up.

Download or read book For a Limited Time Only written by Ronald Wallace and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. This book was released on 2008-08-10 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ronald Wallace's eighth collection of poems, is perhaps his darkest and most meditative to date, focusing his experiences with illness, old age, and mortality; his father-in-law's death after a long bout with Alzheimer's; his step-father's death after a painful struggle with esophageal cancer, his own bout with prostate cancer. These personal experiences form the core of the first three sections of the book, but are mediated by theological and philosophical speculations that find further voice in the character of a "Mr. Grim," whose angry, self-pitying, gruff, comic, self-depreciating, nostalgic, defeated, and hopeful riffs on the human condition provide a bridge to the affirmative, often comic, close. In the final two sections, in poems in praise of his dentist, his barber, his wife, his grandparents, the morpheme, Mr. Malaprop, Pluto, tattoos, hamburger heaven, sex talk, and poetry itself, Wallace once again proves the resilience of hope and humor in what is, for him, finally a world of wonders.

Download or read book The Education of a Circus Clown written by David Carlyon and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-01-28 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2017 Freedley Award Finalist, Theatre Library Association 2016 Best Circus Book of the Year, Stuart Thayer Prize, Circus Historical Society The 1960s American hippie-clown boom fostered many creative impulses, including neo-vaudeville and Ringling's Clown College. However, the origin of that impulse, clowning with a circus, has largely gone unexamined. David Carlyon, through an autoethnographic examination of his own experiences in clowning, offers a close reading of the education of a professional circus clown, woven through an eye-opening, sometimes funny, occasionally poignant look at circus life. Layering critical reflections of personal experience with connections to wider scholarship, Carlyon focuses on the work of clowning while interrogating what clowns actually do, rather than using them as stand-ins for conceptual ideas or as sentimental figures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lying in the dark bedroom, Michael heard a noise, clunk, followed by a thud. Was that a Shuffle? Over by the window, he heard that sound, it wasn't the usual wind on the window noise. Swish. There he heard it again. He rolled over and looked at the long window with the streetlight shining through. What's that? What's that shape? He pulled his covers over his head and lay very still. When he heard another odd clunk he peeked over the top of the blanket. Squinting at the window he noticed what looked like a snake climbing into his room. Michael's heart was pounding in his chest. He felt his knees begin to clack together. It can't be a snake, no one ever had a snake climb in their window. That window was shut, how could it get in here? "Ga ga go away" the whisper was harsh and did not even sound like his voice. Clearing his throat he sat up straighter in his bed and said a little louder. "Go away!" He heard a faint voice, "So, you're awake then?" That was when he heard a giggle.
