Skestina Posted March 31 Posted March 31 (edited) Eat the World: A Collection of Poems out October 29th, 2024. https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/eat-the-world-marina-diamandis/1145034732 Announcement: https://www.instagram.com/p/C5RBFvaCwJS/?igsh=MXEzNWZ0NzQ3cDV4bQ%3D%3D&img_index=1 Spoiler 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.

Pendulum Posted March 31 Posted March 31 In the mirror's gaze, where truth often hides, We dress our fears in glamour and lies. But beneath the surface, where our true selves reside, Is the beauty of struggle, of love that's been tried.
