Marina Diamandis will release her debut poetry collection Eat The World on October 31st.
The songwriter’s debut album ‘Electra Heart’ landed in 2012, reaching No. 1 on the charts. Establishing a rabid cult following with her Tumblr era pop confessions, Marina has built a unique songwriting voice over a full decade of work.
Her lyrics have always been something to adore, and new book Eat The World shines a light on her penchant for word play. Marina Diamandis’ debut poetry collection, it brings together her words and a series of collaborative illustrations.
A unique collection, it will be published simultaneously in the UK and the US on October 31st; Canongate handle the British release, while Penguin Life PRH tackle North America.
Themes include “resilience and self-discovery”, and it seems to be a project close to her heart.

Helena Gonda, Senior Commissioning Editor at Canongate, says: “These poems are a form of catharsis, revealing hidden depths and full of surprising admissions. It will come as no surprise to Marina’s fans that her poetry contains the fizzing sparks of the wordplay of her songs and, like them, this collection promises to be playful and provocative. We are thrilled to be launching ‘Eat The World’ at Canongate…”
