The Courage to Say Yes - A Conversation with Tara and poet, Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer

I ran across acclaimed poet, Rosemerry Trommer, several years ago in a volume where she shares about the loss of her son, Finn, who took his life at age 16. I had never read anything on grieving that touched me so deeply, that held so much wisdom, such a deep affirmation of love. I went on to read her collection All the Honey, and now her new one, The Unfolding. These books are filled with Post-its: I didn't realize how much I needed Rosemerry's words to remind me of what most matters. In our interview we talk about the key themes in her poems: grief, love, opening to what's difficult and what's beautiful… saying yes to life.
