Few things make as much sense as Lana Del Rey releasing a book of poetry — evoking mood is like, her whole thing. And she’s good at it! After announcing the collection in January and posting a few preview stanzas on Instagram, the singer has finally released more details about when and how we can read her verse.
Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass will be a low-key, self-published affair. Del Rey shared with Instagram followers last night that she is binding the book herself, and intends to personally deliver copies to “any mom-and-pop SoCal/San Fran book stores that are interested.” We can expect that to happen “in a few months.”
