Summary
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. Written after the deaths of her son and father, these poems embody paradox—simultaneously somber and playful, brokenhearted and uplifting, even solemn and sexy. Trommer wades heart-deep in the broken world and finds in the rubble these honest, surprising invitations to praise.

Critics Review
“The Unfolding is the most powerful poetry collection I have ever read on grief and hope. Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer takes us into the deepest depths of what it means to be human. I have long admired Rosemerry’s work. This is her most urgent collection yet… The Unfolding is a collection I am recommending to every poetry lover and reader I know.”
- Nikita Gill, author of The Girl and the Goddess and These Are the Words: fearless verse to find your voice
“More than anyone I have ever encountered, poet Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer meets each moment with unbridled curiosity and then, after paying close attention to all its contours, takes that moment into her arms and praises it. She praises quietly or full-throated, with equal measures of humility and authority, down to the darkest bones and out to the luminous edges of the known universe. This collection reconfigured me.”
- Mirabai Starr, Author of Wild Mercy and Ordinary Mysticism
“Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer’s new collection of poems is saturated with dark beauty. There is an exquisite ache inside these poems, reminding us of the eternal embrace of love and loss… The Unfolding breaks us open to what it means to be human, what it means to love.”
- Francis Weller, author of The Wild Edge of Sorrow: Rituals of Renewal and the Sacred Work of Grief
” In The Unfolding, Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer opens her arms and heart and voice so wide, everything we experience comes inside to be held, to shine… These powerful poems are anthems of clarity and ultimate care.”
- Naomi Shihab Nye, Paterson Poetry Prize recipient and author of Everything Comes Next
