Trickster Ridge: A Confluence on the Western Slope

In Celebration of the Arts, the Sciences, and Human Ingenuity
Sept 10-12, taking place in various outdoor venues from Palisade to Fruita in the Grand Valley

Rosemerry joins on Friday (family obligations the rest of the weekend)

Escaping into the Moment, a writing workshop
with Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer
When: Fri, Sept 10, 4:15 – 5:30
Where:  Talbott’s Tap Room, (patio seating)
3800 F 1/4 Rd, East Orchard Mesa
(at the top of 38 Rd, aka the Fruit and Wine
Scenic Byway) in Palisade

The act of writing a poem can bring us closer to the essence of the moment, can help us exist in immediacy. In this session, both practical and playful, we’ll sharpen our observational skills to engage with the poetry in everything—objects, locations, situations, conversations. We’ll practice meeting what Hopkins calls “thisness.” As Mary Oliver writes, “the world offers itself to your attention, over and over.” Let’s meet it, pen in hand.
