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 Regenerate by Steph Patterson after To Be a Salamander by Rachel Turney. Read the full poem on Substack.
