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

In this debut collection, 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 and accompanying illustrations to form a collection that transcends the boundaries of music and literature.
