Praise for Holding Three Things at Once: Poems

Rosemerry Trommer is one of the best poets working today. She has a knack for placing the reader at ease and pointing out in a gentle manner things that matter in a hectic world. Things like family, the changing of the seasons, and the daily distractions of life that ultimately have a way for bringing solace and peace and thanks if you will but listen. … If you only buy one book of poetry this year, make it this one.
Review in The Oklahoma Observer by Mike Nobles

One of the summer’s best poetry reads is Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer’s Holding Three Things At Once which was a finalist for the Colorado Book Award. These poems, both intimate and adventuresome, illuminate Rosemerry quest for balance and perfection while juggling the roles of writer, mother, and organic fruit grower. Simply delicious! Ripe and juicy! Incredibly profound and memorable.
Review in Wyo Poets Newsletter by Laurie Wagner Buyer

Rosemerry is a chanteuse of the heart, winging her way through the orchards of daily life, gathering up for us small gifts, children, rare apricot words, cherry blossoms and always love’s sweet pears. A ripening book of shudders and sighs.
Art Goodtimes, Author of As If the World Really Mattered

Wahtola Trommer’s words take flight and blossom throughout this work, a mother’s testament to her children, life, the earth and the succulent, sweetly dripping, fruits that each new poem produces. This is a work about creation; on so many different levels it follows the writer as she creates, the mother as she revels in her own creations and the observer as she marvels and studies what the seasons of the earth have brought into being, rain, apricots, cherries, trees, birds, fear, children, blooming … life.
Aaron A. Abeyta, Author of As Orion Falls

Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer’s words are riverstones—each one a sphere glimmering with the alchemy of grit, water, motion, time. They are strung together with gossamer strands; the effect has us shiver and blush. These are the best kind of poems, both heft and grace, dangling like counterweights to offset that which weighs heavy on the human heart.
Amy Irvine, Author of Trespass: Living at the Edge of the Promised Land

In Holding Three Things at Once, Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer leads us softly, surely toward home. In these pages is fresh access to the miracles of daily living: The gestures of the seasons. The purr of contentment that hangs on the clothesline with the clean sheets. Those tender, shuffling dances of the shadows and the stars.
Gary Ferguson, Author of Hawks Rest: A Season in the Remote Heart of Yellowstone

Praise for Rosemerry

Wow, what a great response to both your reading and workshop.

Almost with tears in their eyes. Really. I have to tell you what was most mentioned as your fans applauded you; your family life, your reactions and theirs; it felt and sounded so real and most all of us have children so we all could relate. Unforgettable, you are.

Kathy Berg
Cortez Public Library, Poetry Corner Presents

Rosemerry, thank you.

For the first time in a long time I was moved to be creative and to use writing as a tool for healing. I could feel my stagnation begin to melt away in the Light that was presented today. I’ve been freeing up some space lately and asking that it be filled with people and things that inspire me to be the best version of myself and that is exactly what happened today.

Jackie
workshop participant

Revel in your own creativity.

To participate in one of Rosemerry’s poetry playshops, or to listen to one of her beautiful presentations, is an invitation to revel in your own creativity. She welcomes her audience into a landscape of words with a generous and irrepressible spirit, and speaks with a boundless compassion. Her love of poetry reaches out and connects with her listeners, opening a space with her audience that invites them to consider themselves, and their art, and their world, in new ways. To hear Rosemerry share her poetry is a felt gift. Her listeners cannot escape being touched.

Melissa Stacey

I think you have shifted the consciousness of my entire client base.

For this, and many other things, I thank you. You are perhaps the most professional person I’ve ever worked with. I’m amazed.

Craig Soren Nielson
Rural Community Assistance Corporation

Insightful, energizing, and entertaining.

Rosemerry, thank you so much for your inspirational program. The members of the American Business Women’s Association in Montrose left with fresh ideas on improving their work-a-day world and smiles on their faces.

Mavis Bennett
President, American Business Women’s Association, Black Canyon Charter Chapter

Through poetry, humor & song, Rosemerry brings the room to life.

Her highly interactive approach gives each child the opportunity to become a participant in a beautiful, creative experiment. With the support of Rosemerry, children are allowed to shine, to sing, to be silly – to be themselves, and everyone in the room leaves with the knowledge that living in this space of openness is always a possibility.

Erika Gordon
Coordinator for enrichment programming, Ridgway Elementary School

An extraordinary teacher and gifted poet.

Rosemerry’s talents have helped me achieve my dream of more publication. But what is most important to me is that I have learned to write with more confidence and understand more about how to craft deeper poems about deeper subjects. I have experienced healing, safety, trust, and fun in working with Rosemerry. When I bring a poem to her, I know she will continue to find ways to help me expand my creative potential. She never runs out of great ideas.

Phyllis Klein

An amazing talent to open up people’s creative minds.

There is some kind of magic in your smile, your encouraging energy, and amazing talent to open up people’s creative minds. You have facilitated a bit of a renaissance in our building. I have felt warm, enthusiastic vibes from even some of our more reserved teachers today. Of course, the students have it now and are exuding the joy of words big time.

Vicki Phelps
4th and 6th grade science teacher, Naturita Elementary School

Rosemerry touched their hearts.

Our students and staff benefited so much from Rosemerry’s visit. In just one afternoon of writing with her, people were surprised at how much they learned about their writing and their own process. She created a safe place where people were willing to risk. And the performance: Wow. I’ll never think of a sonnet the same again. Rosemerry has a way of grabbing the audience and delivering poetry in a way that makes it feel urgent and fun. As one woman said, ‘In my work, I just touch the surface of people. Rosemerry touches their hearts.’

Ruth Hackford-Peer
Associate Director of Student Life, Adams State College

A Better Place

The world is a better place because of Trommer’s poems.
