Writing From Rupture – A Poetic Exploration of Meeting Our Brokenness

Every experience in life is worthy of our careful attention—even the most painful, broken times—and poetry provides a way to meet each experience with a willingness to witness the ever-unfolding story of our own lives and the story of our world. Though a poem can’t fix things, can’t heal us, can’t change the facts, reading and writing poems can change the way we meet the facts, and this can change everything.

Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer helps weave a safe environment for exploring how to bring wonder and self-compassion into a creative practice. More a playshop than a workshop—more soulwork than craft, though we will talk about how craft can serve our creative process, too. All levels of poetry-writing experience welcome.

Together we’ll read poems, converse about them, use them as launching points for our own writing and talk about process. We’ll explore playing with metaphors and paradox, letting curiosity lead us past the edge of what we think we know into new possibilities for framing a moment. Wonder will be our guide. We’ll be less interested in writing something perfect and more interested in discovering our own stumbling blocks and epiphanies.
