WELSH singer Marina Diamandis makes her publishing debut with a collection of poems entitled Eat the World, on October 29.
Marina’s autobiographical poems are set to delve into trauma, youth, and the highs and lows of relationships.
The singer first shared on social media about her writing process in 2022, saying that she has been writing a poetry book that was ‘like her lyrics, but way more savage’.
The creative stated that poetry allowed her to be more honest and vulnerable than she could through song-writing, and gave her an insight about her own self.
“The book has allowed me the space to be able to explore things I wasn’t happy about myself in a way that I just don’t think I could have with music,” Marina said in an interview.
“On the subject of relationships, they’re amazing because they are mirrors for us. Even being out of relationship, if something ends or if you’re doing random dating, all of those things just show us different parts of ourselves,” she added.
The 39-year-old creative talent embarked on her music career in 2007 when she self-published her debut extended play Mermaid vs Sailor under the stage name Marina and the Diamonds.
She is known for her cult classic 2012 studio album Electra Heart, which was listed among the 50 greatest concept albums of all time by Rolling Stone magazine.
