Do Not Feed The Clown is not a political diatribe suggesting we starve all clowns, since they are depleting our food supply. Nor is it a book full of paint-by-the-number clown jokes from 1953 (sorry to disappoint). Instead, it is a box full of satirical delights and irreverent parodies.

One poem from the manuscript, "If We Are Doomed," won the 2018 Spirit First Poetry Contest Editor's Choice Award, out of thousands of submissions, and will be anthologized in a new book titled "Spirit First: 10 Years of Meditation and Mindfulness Poems."
