"Like her music, Marina's written work is laced with brilliant and bold wordplay throughout." -Cosmopolitan
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.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"Like her music, Marina's written work is laced with brilliant and bold wordplay throughout." -Cosmopolitan
"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
"A goldmine." -PAPER Magazine
"MARINA delves deep into personal topics like trauma, love, eating disorders and her youth." -PEOPLE
"Like the music, her poetry is by turns surreal and straight, packed with lines that start out sweet and quickly sour." -The Sunday Times (London)
