One Poem Only is a daily ritual: one poem, center stage, just for now. This month, One Poem Only presents One Poem After, featuring selected poems written in response to the poems shared during National Poetry Month. Each piece began as a conversation with another poem and became something entirely its own. Today’s poem is Reclaimed by Jo Wright after Lot: Vacant, Not by Danielle Eleanor Lavalle. Read the full poems on Substack.
