No Voice Speaks

Today’s reading from The Anthropocene Hymnal is an audio recording by poet Merril D. Smith of her poem, ‘No Voice Speaks.’ A chilling reminder of the future we may face if we continue to neglect the natural world:

    1. Oh I’m so sorry, I get so confused by double consonants (or lack of them 😅) let me check the post and amend it…doesn’t help that my spellcheck wants you to have 2 ‘ll’s for some reason!

  3. What a treat to hear Merril’s voice after reading her work in blog posts! Yes. The time for significant changes in our human behavior is now. And extrapolating from how poorly our species has responded to the challenges of COVID-19 so far, I see little likelihood that we will respond as needed to ameliorate climate change. Deep sigh.

  9. I am loving these. Thanks again, Ingrid. Now I need to start the practice of turning to the poet’s page (in the book) when I listen to their words.
