POETRY, PRAISE & THE ALCHEMY OF GRIEF | The Free Radical Podcast # EP 67 — Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer 4/1/26

Join us for a deeply moving and quietly evocative conversation on the Free Radical Podcast with award-winning poet, teacher, and speaker Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer. A lifelong writer and co-host of Emerging Form, Rosemerry has been devoted to the daily practice of poetry since 2006—a steady ritual that became a lifeline following the loss of her teenage son in 2021.

In this intimate and expansive episode, Rosemerry opens a doorway into her creative path, her daily poems from A Hundred Falling Veils, and her audio series The Poetic Path. Drawing from her celebrated collections All the Honey and The Unfolding, and her work as Poet Laureate for Evermore, she invites us into the subtle terrain where grief softens into wonder, where language becomes a bridge, and where the ordinary shimmers with quiet revelation.

Together, we wander through questions of how to live and create in the face of the unknown—how to listen more deeply, to trust what unfolds, and to meet life with a courageous, open heart. This is a conversation that moves like a current beneath the surface, weaving loss and beauty, vulnerability and presence, into something both tender and enduring.

Tune in, take a breath, and step into a space where poetry becomes a way of being—and where each moment holds the possibility of meaning, connection, and quiet transformation.
