POETRY, PRAISE & THE ALCHEMY OF GRIEF | Free Radical Podcast #67 | Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer April 1, 2026

🌿 This episode holds some very tender terrain, including the loss of a child to suicide. If this is close to your heart, we invite you to listen at your own pace, honoring whatever arises within you. If needed, you might set it down and return when the time feels right.🌿 With that in mind, we invite you into a deeply moving and quietly evocative conversation on the Free Radical Podcast with award-winning poet, teacher, and speaker Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer. A lifelong writer and co-host of "Emerging Form", Rosemerry has been devoted to the daily practice of poetry since 2006—a steady ritual that became a lifeline following the loss of her teenage son in 2021. In this intimate and expansive episode, Rosemerry opens a doorway into her creative path, her daily poems from "A Hundred Falling Veils," and her audio series "The Poetic Path." Drawing from her celebrated collections "All the Honey" and "The Unfolding," and her work as Poet Laureate for Evermore, she invites us into the subtle terrain where grief softens into wonder, where language becomes a bridge, and where the ordinary shimmers with quiet revelation. Together, we wander through questions of how to live and create in the face of the unknown—how to listen more deeply, to trust what unfolds, and to meet life with a courageous, open heart. This is a conversation that moves like a current beneath the surface, weaving loss and beauty, vulnerability and presence, into something both tender and enduring. Tune in, take a breath, and step into a space where poetry becomes a way of being—and where each moment holds the possibility of meaning, connection, and quiet transformation. 👉 Connect Further with Bhakti Lalita deviYT: https://www.youtube.com/user/BhaktiLalitaDDFB: https://www.facebook.com/BLalitaDDIG: https://www.instagram.com/bhakti_lalita_devi https://youtu.be/hmNwjgIAjSQ ▶ CONTINUE THE CONVERSATION: Gaudiya Reform Forum on Facebook .~ Swami Padmanabha’s Channels ▶ FACEBOOK ▶ YOUTUBE ▶ INSTAGRAM ▶ WEBSITE ▶ PURCHASE RADICAL PERSONALISM: Revival Manifesto for Proactive Devotion in hardcover, paperback, and/or Kindle formats on Amazon ▶ WRITE your REVIEW of RADICAL PERSONALISM ~ Tadatmya Sangha’s Channels ▶ WEBSITE ▶ FACEBOOK ▶ INSTAGRAM ▶ YOUTUBE
