Her one-word mantra: Adjust.

Both events are fundraisers. Friday night's performance ticket price is low and donations above the price are welcome. Saturday's morning workshop has a suggested donation of $15 - $25.

Quotes from those who have seen her perform:
“Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer dazzled the audience. Her animated delivery of her poetry goes beyond reading and into full blown performance; story told in dramatic verse; literary creativity, combined with music and audience interaction. Anyone that had previously thought of poetry readings as dull or boring might walk away from this with a new perspective on poetry, or even a new perspective on life, from the inspirational quality of verse which was presented brilliantly.”

“I’m not a poetry advocate—I have never understood it. But Rosemerry had me in the palm of her hand in about 30 seconds.”
