2024 Spring Workshop

our annual WyoPoets Spring Workshop on April 26-

We are thrilled that Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer

County’s first poet laureate (2007-2011) and as
Western Slope Poet Laureate (2015-2017) and was
a finalist for Colorado Poet Laureate in 2019.
Rosemerry has written a poem a day since 2006,
posting them since 2011 on her blog, A Hundred
Falling Veils. Her poems can be heard daily on the
Ritual app, The Poetic Path. Favorite themes include
parenting, gardening, ecology, love, science,
thriving/failure, grief and daily life.
She has 13 collections of poetry, and her work has
appeared in O Magazine, A Prairie Home
Companion, PBS News Hour, American Life in
Poetry, on fences, in back alleys, on Carnegie Hall
Stage, and on hundreds of river rocks she leaves
around town.

NATIONAL POETRY DAY:
Each year we mark National Poetry Day on October 15 by encouraging our members to spread the love of poetry in their communities. See how we celebrate.
This year writers of all experience levels from aspiring to established are invited to Installations and Inspirations, a community writing event, starting at 1PM, at the Rockpile Museum, 900 W. 2nd Street, Gillette. While there participants will learn about and explore ekphrastic writing—creating prose and poetry inspired by images and objects—in a fun, informal, informative atmosphere.
Participants will discover how visual prompts found in the museum’s exhibits can make history, and creativity, come alive. The event is sponsored by the Rockpile Museum Association; admission fees will be waived for the afternoon.
Members of Prairie Pens local writers’ group will be on hand to share in the event and to offer assistance and encouragement if needed. The group usually meets at 1PM, the third Saturday of each month, in pioneer Room 1, at Campbell County Public Library.
