John Chmura · 2 · 1d ago 😂 My poem, Pork Roll, is probably the longest in the book! Here is a video of me reading it while wearing my pork roll baseball cap!!!

Ordered it 👏👏 👏 I remember you talking about your vision for this collection with the road sign and the title... I'm thrilled to see it here and can't wait to see it in print!
Oh it’s a good thing I didn’t change the name yet then! ‘Carriers’ was and still is a brilliant, timely poem. I’ll find & repost it when your book arrives in a few days.
Thank you so much, Evie!!! I really hope you enjoy it. I hope the sense of a year passing comes through. 🙏🙏🙏
I’m sure it will! If you aren’t doing a typical launch, I hope you do some other buzzworthy alternatives…Maybe you could get a few of us to record a poem aloud from your collection to share on Bluesky, that sort of thing. Think on it… This collection is newsworthy!
Thank you for those thoughts, Evie!
