The Unfolding
In The Unfolding, Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer startles us with the wonder, beauty, and sacred connection that blossom out of living wholeheartedly. Here the aching heart goes dancing.

Meridian
Meridian is a collection of poems that reflects the poet’s deep and abiding love affair with the natural world. The poems draw on the alchemy that binds the visible and the invisible, capturing moments with people, places, and things that cannot be reduced and therefore diminished.
