Poetry Guides
Over the years, I have taken a number of poetry classes with Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer. Rosemerry has an almost magical way of helping you release the poems that you didn’t even know where waiting to be written. If you get a chance to take part in one of her poetry classes, I hope you take it. You can find out more about all that Rosemerry offers on her website, which is linked below:
Poetry Books
What a gift a book can be, especially a book of poems that touch the heart and spark the imagination. The links below are to some of my favourite books of poetry that you may also enjoy. These are not affiliate links, they are simply suggestions being offered.

In Closing
Inspiration for a poem resides all around us. The gifts of poetry, are that it helps us have eyes to see the beauty in our midst, it helps us name the sorrows, and it helps us make sense of the spectrum of emotions that moves through us from day to day. Mary Oliver once wrote that her best advice is, “Pay Attention. Be astonished. Share your astonishment.” Sharing what has astonished us is perhaps the greatest gifts of poetry.
Blessings,
Kathy
