Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer is a poet, teacher, speaker, writing facilitator, and cohost of the Emerging Form podcast. Rosemerry has been writing and sharing a poem a day since 2006—a practice that especially nourished her after the death of her teenage son in 2021. Her daily poems can be found on her blog, A Hundred Falling Veils, or a curated version on her daily audio series, The Poetic Path.
She is the author of Exploring Poetry of Presence II: Prompts to Deepen Your Writing Practice. Her spoken-word albums include Dark Praise, which explores “endarkenment,” and Risking Love, which explores loving even when it seems impossible. Rosemerry is cofounder of the kindness collective, Secret Agents of Change, and co-leads the Soul Writer’s Circle.
Her poetry has appeared on A Prairie Home Companion and PBS News Hour, in O Magazine and American Life in Poetry, on Carnegie Hall stage, and on river rocks she leaves around town. Her collection Hush won the Halcyon Prize. Naked for Tea was a finalist for the Able Muse Book Award. Her most recent collections are All the Honey and The Unfolding. In January 2024, she became the first poet laureate for Evermore, helping others through this platform to explore grief, bereavement, wonder, and love through the voice of poetry.
