Wednesdays on One Poem Only are a double feature: one poem here on the podcast, and one more by the same poet shared on Instagram. 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 Cheap Therapy Cheat Sheet by Tanja Lau. Read the full poem on Substack.
