Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass

THE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED 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.

VIOLET BENT BACKWARDS OVER THE GRASS by Lana Del Rey Much like a memoir, poetry is subjective so rating it doesn’t seem appropriate. However, I’ll make an exception as this is one I’ve been meaning to read for a while. What can say about this collection of poems from one of my favorite musicians, Lana Del Rey (aka Elizabeth “Lizzie” Grant)? It is *so* her vibe. I love her love for Los Angeles, its neighborhoods and landscapes. I love the metaphors she uses to describe her emotions and experiences. I love reading between her lines. Am I biased? Possibly. This short and semisweet book ties in (and gives a bit of context to) her albums, Norman F*cking Rockwell and Chemtrails Over The Country Club. I’m glad I opted to listen to the audio book because her voice (accompanied by the instrumental music) made the poems that much more enjoyable and immersive. Recommend if you’re a fan of LDR and a poetry lover. Rating: 4/5 ⭐️

The book was ruined when I got it

First of all my book didn't come with a box, I ordered two books and the first book I got came with a box this one did not. Which resulted my book being dented when I got it. But I love lana and the book would recommend but also recommend good shipping 🫶🏼
