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

Submissions are open. If you have a poem you want me to read on the podcast, now’s the time.

I’m looking for the one that lights you up. The one you’re proud of. The one you can’t read without crying. The one that makes you feel something big.

Let’s make space for the one this Fall on One Poem Only.
