LANA DEL REY - Violet Bent Backwards over the Grass

Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass is the title poem of the book and the first poem I wrote of many. Some of them came to me in their entirety, which I dictated and then typed out, and some I worked laboriously at, piecing together each word to make the perfect poem. They are eclectic and honest and don’t try to be anything other than what they are, and for that reason I’m proud of them, especially because the spirit in which they were written was very authentic.” Lana Del Rey

Lana’s breathtaking first book further cemented her status as an “essential writer for the times” (The Atlantic). The collection includes more than thirty poems, many exclusive to this book: “Never to Heaven,” “The Land of 1,000 Fires,” “Past the Bushes Cypress Thriving,” “LA Who Am I to Love You?,” “Tessa DiPietro,” “Happy,” “Paradise Is Very Fragile,” “Bare Feet on Linoleum,” and more. In this beautiful hardcover edition, Lana’s typewritten manuscript pages are on display alongside her original photography. The result is an extraordinary poetic landscape that mirrors the rawness of its creator.
