One Poem Only is a daily ritual: one poem, center stage, just for now. This month on One Poem Only, I’m revisiting poems that stayed with me long after recording them. Some became listener favorites; others quietly became favorites of my own. One Poem Only Revisited is an invitation to return—to listen again, reflect, and discover what feels different now. Today’s poem is Only Sleeping by Jo Guzman. Read the full poem on Substack.
