Eat the World

Description

Raw and moving poems of love, solitude, and the struggles of youth, from fan-favorite and platinum-certified singer MARINA.

i thought if
i ate the world
i would finally 
be full
i would never
be hungry again

In this debut poetry collection, Marina’s talent for powerful, evocative song lyrics finds a new outlet as her words weave stories of resilience and self-discovery. 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 teenage trauma, youth, and the highs and lows of relationships in these profound, autobiographical poems.

Eat the World compiles Marina’s original poems and collaborative illustrations to form a collection that transcends the boundaries of music and literature. Her poetry invites readers to explore the human experience through her perspective, offering a profound glimpse into the artist’s soul and the universal emotions that connect us all.MARINA is an award-winning, platinum-selling singer-songwriter who burst on to the scene in 2009.
