Proportions

Maggie Devers

I went to Catalonia the week past
And can't get Gala out of my mind
It's as if Dali is inhabiting me,
And all I think about is my muse

She was luminous with her swans
And then I saw them stuffed in the library.
That was a bit much,
But it all was

That's why we like it.
Atomic Leda, what have we made?
Suspended, untouching forever
Floating on the planes to sea

About the Podcast

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.
