A stunningly personal collection of never-before-seen poetry, lyrics, and sketches from renowned musician Florence Welch

Songs can be incredibly prophetic, like subconscious warnings or messages to myself, but I often don't know what I'm trying to say till years later. Or a prediction comes true and I couldn't do anything to stop it, so it seems like a kind of useless magic.

For the first time, iconic artist Florence Welch, founder of the indie rock band Florence + the Machine, presents a raw, intimate glimpse into her creative process. Dreamy and magical, Useless Magic compiles lyrics from Florence + the Machine's first four albums--Lungs; Ceremonials; How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful; and High as Hope--interspersed with handwritten song drafts, heartfelt poems, and vibrant doodles and photographs.

A dazzling, haunting anthology of love, self-reflection, and the small wonders of life, Useless Magic showcases Welch's remarkable talents and serves as an inspiration to anybody searching to find meaning in the everyday.
