About this listen
'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 Del Rey brings her breathtaking poetry to life in an unprecedented audiobook. In this stunning spoken-word performance, Lana Del Rey reads fourteen poems from her debut book Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass accompanied by music from Grammy Award-winning musician Jack Antonoff.
Lana’s debut book solidifies her further as 'the essential writer of her times' (The Atlantic). This audiobook features Lana reading select poems from the book, including LA Who Am I to Love You?, The Land of 1,000 Fires, Past the Bushes Cypress Thriving, Never to Heaven, Tessa DiPietro, Happy and several others. The result is an extraordinary poetic landscape that reflects the unguarded spirit of its creator.

Beautiful
Lana is my favourite artist of all time, so I was so excited to listen to this audiobook. It’s a work of art, Lana’s voice is so soothing, the instrumentals are stunning and the poems are vulnerable. Recommend this stunning work to everyone.

She's a poet by heart
I'm so glad Lana is sharing with us another artist part of her. She's a poet by heart and I absolutely love the way she express her feelings, her living, her thoughts.

Amazing
Beautiful, intriguing and soothing.
If you’re a Lana fan then no doubt you’ll love it.
If you’re a fan of literature in general, then I don’t think you’ll be disappointed either.

yes
Talanted, brilliant, incredible, amazing, showstopper, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to refferace or not refferace, put it in a blender, shit on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it.

CHILLING
As I was listening to the first poem, I felt chills form up my spine and expand, covering my entire being. Lana's performance offers more in depth sightings to emotions we all might relate to, from love, heartbreak, to an unforgiving sense of enstrangement to your origins.
Absolutely beautiful, moving; one could only be left wanting more.
