Krzysztof Czyżewski’s poem, ‘’The Clown’s Tear” has gone viral. John Beuschamp hosted Krzysztof Czyżewski in the Debrief podcast show and talked to him about the poem and about the war in Ukraine.

Krzysztof Czyżewski is making some meaningful remarks about the figure of the clown – the title character of his poem who is related to the Ukrainian president who is an ex-comedy man. The war in Ukraine is also given a broader perspective. Krzysztof Czyżewski is comparing the war with the war in Bosnia, which he witnessed in Sarajevo.
