Clown's Frown

Clown’s Frown is a evocative collection of verses that peel away the painted smile to reveal the silence beneath. Through stark imagery, fractured metaphors, and raw emotion, Kia Jha explores grief, identity, love, and the fragile masks we wear to face the world. The “Cwic Clinker” becomes both symbol and echo—living ash, the remnants of what once burned bright. Each poem moves between tenderness and torment, laughter and ache, reminding the reader that beauty often hides in brokenness, and that even in sorrow there is a strange kind of song. may these lines remind you—you are not alone, and even in ashes, something still lives.
