From Arlo Parks, Grammy Award-nominated recording artist and “voice of a generation”—a stunning debut book of poetry and a world-building companion to her sophomore album My Soft Machine.
“Poetry was my place, my little clearing in the forest, where I could quietly put everything I was holding. I’m not sure what gave me the courage to open up that space to you but here I am, doing it. I am proud to show you this personal lens that life shimmers through. This book is no longer mine. It is yours.”—Arlo Parks
The Magic Border is the debut book from the Grammy-nominated, Mercury Prize winning musician and poet Arlo Parks. This remarkable collection features Arlo’s handpicked original poems alongside exclusive photographs by friend and collaborator Daniyel Lowden in addition to the complete lyrics to her critically lauded sophomore album My Soft Machine. A deeply personal literary tapestry, The Magic Border beautifully showcases the full breadth of Arlo’s singular artistry.

Review: Bought on a whim - no regrets!Iâm not usually one for poetry, but I heard Arlo Parks read one out on BBC radio and thought it sounded so grounded and insightful that I ordered a copy before the programme had finished!Iâm really enjoying dipping into the poems over a cup of tea. The photographs are great too.The hardback book cover is delightful to look at and to hold! Sensory and gentle, yet strong and definite - with a little peak at Arlo through the âwindowâ. The cover perfectly matches the contents. Whoever designed it cover is a genius!
