Über diesen Titel

One Poem Only is a daily poetry podcast offering a quiet moment with a single poem—read aloud, without analysis or noise.

Crushed Peaches In PalmPaige KellerThis poem was first featured in Mad Persona MagazineI am gathering my memories like peaches,plucking each from the most recluse of branches,filling up my baskets,my bruised knees - purple and blueContrast these pristine fruits,bright and sweet.When I have climbed to the top of the verylast tree where that very last fruit lay,when my baskets are full,my evasive past – I will consumeI will desolate the pristine fruit,swallow its pits whole.Until I am filled to no measure, until peachpits weigh me down, until they take rootinside of me and grow w i l d l y.

Write After: National Poetry Month with One Poem Only

Write After is a way to encourage poets to listen and write, and use National Poetry Month to highlight how listening to poetry makes us better poets. I know I write the best when I’m surrounded by beautiful poetry–it’s part of the reason I created this podcast, and I want to encourage others to share this practice. We'll get started in April. You can share to #WriteAfterOPO.
