The New York Times bestselling debut book of poetry from 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 which came to me in their entirety, which I dictated and then typed out, and some that I worked laboriously picking apart each word to make the perfect poem. They are eclectic and honest and not trying 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 solidifies her further as “the essential writer of her times” (The Atlantic). The collection features more than thirty poems, many exclusive to the 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 many more. This beautiful hardcover edition showcases Lana’s typewritten manuscript pages alongside her original photography. The result is an extraordinary poetic landscape that reflects the unguarded spirit of its creator. Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass is also brought to life in an unprecedented spoken word audiobook which features Lana Del Rey reading fourteen select poems from the book accompanied by music from Grammy Award–winning musician Jack Antonoff.

An amazing artist and amazing poetry alongwith awesome lyrics 💯
I love, love and love her writing. I am not that familiar with her music and other things but yes, I love her writing! The silly rhyming at times but also the lines which express her life and her art. I love the photos in between the poetry and the lyrics, and also the paintings towards the end. Some parts seem to depict domestic violence. She wrote so effortlessly all these words of hatred and the no regrets vibes gave me all the joy while reading this collection. However, I wish some lines didn't sound repetitive and senseless just to make them rhyme. I liked the pictures but I still cannot help wishing they were taken better. But yes, I love those black and white ones! Perfection 💯

Honest lana del rey fan #1
Immersing oneself in the ethereal pages of this delicate poetry collection is akin to dancing on a moonbeam, each verse a gentle caress to the soul. With words as soft as the whisper of a breeze, the poet paints landscapes of emotion, weaving intricate tapestries of longing, love, and the quiet beauty found in everyday moments. Each poem is a delicate bloom, unfurling its petals to reveal the fragility and strength of the human heart. It's a symphony of elegance, where each stanza is a graceful pirouette through the realms of imagination and introspection. This book is a sanctuary for those who seek solace in the exquisite simplicity of language, a sanctuary where one can lose oneself in the tender embrace of verse.

El talento de Lana del Rey no tiene límites
Lana del Rey es una de las mejores compositoras del siglo XXI, por no decir la mejor, y ahora nos obsequia con un libro de poemas, maravilloso, lleno de su personalidad, sentimiento, vivencias, pensamientos, ALMA. El libro es precioso, con anotaciones y correcciones de ella misma, y muchas imágenes relacionadas con sus gustos y con algunos de los poemas. Un 10.
