Music: styles & genres; Musical scores, lyrics & libretti; Poetry by individual poets

For the first time, platinum-certified singer-songwriter Marina shares her singular observations of the human heart through poetry; this collection is essential.

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 to form a collection that transcends the boundaries of music and literature.

Reviews for Eat the World: A Collection of Poems

The persona-driven approach that has informed many of [Marina's] lyrics is used here, the character an unmoored rock star. There's brilliant phrasemaking . . . and sharp observations . . . throughout * * Guardian * *
