In the poetry chapbook, The Fire Eater and the Bearded Lady, the reader is invited into the world of an old-time circus/sideshow. Each poem is in the persona and voice of various circus performers, both human and animal, employees, and spectators--who are also complicit in the acts they see. From roustabout to elephant, lion tamer to clown, the circus exposes us all.
