What if poetry could seduce us back into tenderness?
What if sound, silence, and language became the bridge between heartbreak and hope?
Join Voice Visionary Kara Johnstad on VOICE RISING for a luminous, no-holds-barred conversation with poet Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer, celebrating the release of her brand-new spoken word album, RISKING LOVE.
Flirty. Smart. Wholehearted. Raw. In this collaborative album with acoustic guitarist Steve Law, Rosemerry brings her acclaimed poetry to life through spoken word and live instrumentation—inviting us to fall more deeply in love with the world, even (and especially) when it feels impossible.
Together, they dive into:
-The courage it takes to risk love in uncertain times
- The healing power of voice and the spoken word
- Poetry as a sensual, spiritual, and subversive act
- Collaborating with musicians to expand emotional impact
- Writing as both personal practice and collective balm
With tracks that range from heartbreak to hilarity, from sensuality to sorrow, RISKING LOVE reminds us that voice—when used with boldness and beauty—can open us to our fullest humanity.
