With Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass, Lana Del Rey—iconic singer-songwriter and cultural touchstone—delivers a spellbinding debut poetry collection that captures her signature voice in a raw, lyrical, and unfiltered new form.
Featuring over thirty poems alongside Lana’s own photography and typewritten pages, this deeply personal collection is equal parts confession, observation, and dreamscape. From LA Who Am I to Love You? to Bare Feet on Linoleum, these works explore fragility, fame, memory, and longing with the haunting honesty fans have come to expect.
A New York Times bestseller, this beautifully crafted hardcover is both a literary debut and an artistic artifact. Lana’s spoken word audiobook—set to music by Jack Antonoff—adds another lush dimension to an already unforgettable poetic experience.
