A review by tokrnis
Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass by Lana Del Rey

3.0

“They say I come from money and I didn’t and I didn’t even have / love and it’s unfair” “I’m yours if you’ll have me / quietly or loudly / sincerely your daughter / regardless / you’re mine.” “you don’t want to be forgotten / You just want to disappear” “Paradise is very fragile and it seems that it’s only getting worse / Our leader is a megalomaniac and we’ve seen that before / but never because it was what the country deserved.” “because things that can’t be bought can’t be evaluated / and that makes them beyond human reach.”

—lines from the compilation that I really liked

(I’m not a huge fan of modern poetry by the way) Maybe I’m a little biased but… Lana Del Ray, your mind. Good lord. Favorite poems: Bare feet on linoleum, LA Who am I to Love You?, My bedroom is a sacred place now - There are children at the foot of my bed, and Paradise is Very Fragile
