Today, I read the second poem from The Anthropocene Hymnal, ‘When I come back, I will be grief,’ by Sherry Marr. Sherry asked me to read the poem, and I hope I have done it justice. It is a hugely emotive piece, and Sherry’s words feel more timely than ever:
The Anthropocene Hymnal goes on sale tomorrow and will be available in Paperback and Kindle format (from Amazon) and in PDF format (from this site). I will be donating all of my royalties to WWF, in an effort to help protect the planet and raise awareness of the climate and biodiversity crisis.

You have done justice to these beautiful, eloquent, and striking words, Ingrid! I particularly enjoy the nuances your accent lends to each word and Sherry’s title? Lovely!

Such a beautiful poem by Sherry, and a lovely reading by you.
Thank you, Ingrid, for reading my poem so beautifully, and congratulations on the launch of The Anthropocene Hymnal, which could not be more timely. I hope word of this book spreads, with its urgent message. It is lovely that proceeds will go to WWF. That is awesome.
thanks Sherry, nice to know a bit more about you! A powerful poem and Ingrid read it well … awesomely gruesome 🙁
A beautifully written and meaningful poem, Sherry! 🙂 Ingrid, I so enjoyed hearing your wonderful reading of Sherry’s poem. Congratulations to both of you! <3
