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.
She is editor of SHAME/less, an anthology that brings together forty-nine poems by forty poets from across the world in a collection that moves, with honesty and tenderness, from shame to shedding.

Mentioned in this episode:
One Poem Only submissions are open.
I’m filling the next chapter of One Poem Only and would love to include your work. Send me the poem you wrote and want the world to hear. New this round: if you’d like to read your own poem on the podcast, you can. No need for a perfect studio recording—just a clear audio file recorded in a quiet space. If you choose this option, you’ll submit your poem and an audio file of you reading it. Submissions close Thursday, July 30. I’ll respond by August 12. Whether I read your poem or you read it yourself, I’d love to hear what you’re ready to share.
