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

“Like the music, [Marina’s] poetry is by turns surreal and straight, packed with lines that start out sweet and quickly sour. Eat the World explores love, bad boyfriends, youth and loneliness; the poems have gut-punch titles”
sunday Times Style
“The book chronicles Diamandis’s late teens through her mid-30s, revisiting past wounds with her distinctive wit and the rich symbolism that is a cornerstone of her lyrical style. The collection blends introspection with storytelling, offering readers insight on her state of mind before fame and during much of her musical career”
vanity Fair
“Marina explores topics ranging from self-worth and identity to loneliness and longing for connection … She incorporates scrapbook and zine-inspired visuals into its lineup of thirty-eight poems. And, like her music, Marina’s written work is laced with brilliant and bold wordplay throughout”
