One Poem Only is a daily ritual: one poem, center stage, just for now.

Each poem carries not only its words but also the rhythm, pauses, and breath of the person who wrote it. Thank you for listening to In Their Own Voice.

Today’s poem is The Morgue Poem by Nina Lior. Read the full poem on Substack.
