Once a Palm Reader Told Me by Tabitha Dial after Ariel Kasha | One Poem After

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 Once a Palm Reader Told Me by Tabitha Dial after Ariel Kasha. Read the full poems on Substack.

One Poem Only
I'm Maggie Devers, and each day I'll read you a poem-nothing more, nothing less. No analysis, no noise-just a little space to listen.
A daily reading. A quiet moment. One poem, center stage: just for now, just for you. A one-night-only show, in verse.

Come back tomorrow. The curtain rises again.

Maggie Devers

I'm a poet, a reader, and someone who believes in the quiet power of a single well-chosen word. Each day, I share one poem on my podcast One Poem Only—a small daily pause in a noisy world.

My own writing lives alongside the voices I read. My debut poetry collection, For My Daughter, is a personal offering—an exploration of memory, love, and the joy of childhood. You can also listen to it as an audiobook.

Whether I’m reading the words of others or sharing my own, I hope to create space for stillness, feeling, and connection—one poem at a time.
