Marina Diamandis
Eat the World: A Collection of Poems
Canongate Books
Marina shines away from her diamonds here on her first poetry outing, which showcases the power of her words.
These moving poems go beyond written lyrics and are often sparse, making the most of dramatic, implied pauses and the freedom of the artform.
In this debut collection, Marina's talent for powerful, evocative song lyrics finds a new outlet in her poetry. Each poem resonates with the same creative melodies and emotional depth that have made her an artistic sensation. Hailed by The New York Times for 'redefining songs about coming of age, and the aftermath, with bluntness and crafty intelligence,' Marina delves even further into trauma, youth and the highs and lows of relationships in these profound, autobiographical poems and accompanying illustrations to form a collection that transcends the boundaries of music and literature. i thought if i ate the world i would finally be full i would never be hungry again
“The persona-driven approach that has informed many of her lyrics is used here, the character an unmoored rock star.” - Guardian
