“Part of what it means to be a poet right now is to know that we are surrounded by poems, that we live poems, that we are a poem, living. ”
— Rosemerry Trommer

What does it mean to be a poet in these times of horror and wonder, beauty and despair? For Rosemerry, poetry is both bridge and practice: it joins the inner and outer worlds, invites us to stay present to what is, lets the world shape us, and offers something honest, authentic, and beautiful in return.
She describes poetry as an apprenticeship to mystery and an opening into a life of presence and praise. “One way to deal with the ache of the world,” she reminds us, “is with beauty.” In this conversation, Rosemerry shares poems written with a profound depth of heart, verses that meet sorrow with beauty and honour the glimmers of grace that surround us each day.
Together we explore poetry as a radical form of responsivity: how it expands the self, supports the ongoing process of true-ing, and allows us to be guided by wonder. Poetry becomes a passageway into living more fully, an opening to the immensity of life, and a way of moving through the world as if every moment is an invitation to say, Hallelujah Anyway.
