“Occasionally you find an artist that not only writes a fantastic narrative, but also seemingly makes everything they touch sound like their own” - Neil King
Hello, come on in, make yourself at home…
never let go
My latest track, only available via bandcamp, though you can listen here.
ever wondered where the time has gone, how it moved on without notice?
Never Let Go is a part spoken word part sung track, that I hope you love as much as I have loved putting it all together.
There is also an instrumental which you can find here on bandcamp, let me know what you think.

Old Hands
A collection of poetry, micro stories and song
I hate Poetry, how about you? It affects my emotions: anger, laughter, sadness, joy. Wait a minute! It's not the fault of poetry, it's only my way of making sense of the world.
So, anyway, about my debut book of poetry; it's full of living, gaining great reviews and priced at £15.00 plus p&p, (whilst stocks last)
You can also order from Blurb (make you you have a discount code, they become available every now and then)
“...thought I'd just read one or two of the poems, but I couldn't stop. I've read the lot and I loved them, you have such a way with words, they brightened my day...” - Jane Clayton West Norfolk Radio
Old Hands - Official release 2nd October 2026.
A book of poetry, micro stories and songs.
Words layered with empathy and emotional urgency, although you could also fall upon the occasional word that simply makes you smile.
Reviews:
"This collection is Marina’s debut and what a debut it is. Poems that make you laugh, smile and even shed a tear..." Jo, Tynemouth.
"...It's difficult to choose a favourite as they're all so good, but I think it would be 'Shiny Shoe Lady', the first one I heard, with 'Greek Cypriot Wedding' which is infused with nostalgia and love, running a close second." Sue, Haslemere.
"Marina is able to write pieces which show her disillusionment, sadness and indignation at the way the world and society is falling apart through greed and lack of empathy..." Katina, Cheshire.
"...Marina has the uncanny ability to express in a succinct and readily accessible way all aspects of the human condition: from love and hope to pain and despair, from elation to anguish, from happiness to grief." Andy, Tynemouth.
“Poetry for real people - from the heart, and meaningful.”
Shadows - my most recently released album 2025
“In a world where everyone shouts and attempts to dominate through law and violence, Marina Florance gets her point across calmly. There’s tremendous purpose behind that style.”
