Status Updates From A Month In April: 30 Poems ...

I follow poet John Chmura on Blue Sky where he shares his poetry. I’ve always found his work compelling and brilliant. He shares much of his poetry as video readings. This collection covers poems he wrote April 2026 while the world is literally burning, politically speaking.

My favorite poems so far are titled Shrink to Fit, American Twilight, and Armchair Paralysis.
