04 July 2019, 10:27 | Written by Cerys Kenneally

Banks has shared a glimpse of her forthcoming poetry book, Generations of Women from the Moon.

In a recent interview with Best Fit, Banks shared some details about a poetry book coinciding with her forthcoming third album, "I’m releasing a poetry book! I’m just as excited about this poem book as the album! I’ve always been a songwriter, and therefore a poet, but now that I’ve embraced writing poetry, I’ve noticed that the area that my music comes from and the area that my poetry comes from both feed into the same funnel that helps me heal and function."

During the interview, Banks shared two poems, titled "Ode to the Grey Zone" and "The Jerk".

Now she's shared an image of a poem called "BARK", which is also illustrated by Banks on Instagram, writing, "A page out of my poetry book Generations of Women from the Moon. Written and illustrated by me. I am so beyond excited for you guys to read it."
