First Crash by Lee Martínez Soto after Carly Thompson | One Poem After

One Poem Only is a daily poetry podcast offering a quiet moment with a single poem—read aloud, without analysis or noise. 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 First Crash by Lee Martínez Soto after CAUTION: STUDENT DRIVER by Carly Thompson.
