Laughing at Nothing: Poems from a Clown Who Knew Too Much

By Mason Carter

Laughing at Nothing: Poems from a Clown Who Knew Too Much is a unique, absurdist poetry collection that blends dark humor, slapstick absurdity, and philosophical reflection. Written in the voice of Bobo the Clown, the star of The Clown Who Couldn't Make Himself Laugh (from the collection Entropy in Love and Other Errors), these poems explore life's little tragedies with wit, whimsy, and existential insight.

Bobo juggles more than pies-he juggles heartbreak, loss, betrayal, and the absurdity of human existence. Each poem is a surreal vignette: a conversation with a cloud, a rebellious umbrella, a confessional pie, or a letter to a lost love. Readers will find themselves laughing at the absurdity, cringing at the dark humor, and pondering the fragile beauty of life through Bobo's uniquely skewed lens.

Perfect for fans of absurdist literature, dark humor, and poetry that balances tragedy with laughter, Laughing at Nothing is both a companion to Bobo's story and a standalone journey into the mind of a clown who knew far too much about life-and himself.
