SHOWMAN'S BURDEN is a collection of eschatonic, dithyrambic, panegyric, and prophetic poems written between 1983 and 1993 by writer Scáth Beorh. This is his eighth book of poetry, and includes much of the work lauded by those who saw him read at the Garden Café on Charlotte Street in St. Augustine, Florida and again at the Daily Grind on Cordova Street between the years 1991 and 1994.
