    Poetry and lyrics from a supremely talented artist
  

*by J***O on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 September 2018*

“THEN LIGHTNING STRUCK / NOW I’M TOTALLY F****D.” I had the supreme joy of reading Florence Welch’s lyrics and poetry, ‘Useless Magic’, a couple of days early. What a monumental gift this book is. The lyrics-by-album serve as a retrospective, a chronology of the artist’s growth over ten years; lyrics which (excepting High As Hope) have been subjective and disputed. Laid out on the page there is no denying the sheer power and poetry of Florence’s song-writing; never does a lyric become a dead thing, flattened to the printed page. And what a joy to read through and discover new meanings. The book is stunningly packaged, complete with photographs and artwork, of/by her and her influences, as well as sketches/notes from her notebooks over the years, seeds planted to bloom much later. But it is the poetry I was most excited for, and most enjoyed. Though only sixteen poems in all, it feels like plenty, with each poem its own marvel, Florence’s voice confident and contemplative. In ‘Oh You’re A Real Man’, a verse in ‘Patricia’ is altered to ask “how many have to die / so that you can feel loved?”, while in ‘Rage’ Florence mourns the “age of rage” we find ourselves living in, the seeming obsolescence of softness and compassion. The inadvertent triptych of ‘Love Hospital’, ‘Wedding’ and ‘Honeymoon’ make a really stunning moment of both circularity and progression, while the insistence of ‘American Mother’ and its personal introspection provide another perspective to Florence’s near-romanticised processing of the world. ‘Monarch Butterflies’ handles the problem of putting written lyrics and poems into the world, “confined to the page so permanent”, while ‘I Guess I Won’t Write Poetry’ muses on “the blank face of god / your demon door / your own personal sad machine”. A true delight in every sense and hopefully merely a prologue of all the poetry to come.

    It feels like reading a diary/scrapbook
  

*by K***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 November 2020*

I loved how personal this book feels, the lyrics, poetry, art and sermons. Perfect for any fan of Florence + the Machine

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Perfect for fans of Florence
  

*by E***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 November 2019*

This book offers a fantastic insight into the mind of Florence Welch, and everything about it, from the cover to the very last page, suits Florence's aesthetic so very well, in a way that fans will instantly recognise this book as a creation of the mind of Flo. I love having this book on my shelf, as it's like my own little piece of Florence's mind.
