Venice

It arrived yesterday and I love it so much 
Didn't expect that I would love her poetry so much but I do. Yesterday I read the book and the audiobook of Violets was playing in the back
So thankful for this project even though I didn't care at first about it

This poetry collection is absolutely unreal. I really love what Lana said in the book’s blurb about it being nothing more what it is, which to me, is just a testament to her authenticity, humility, and artistry. 
 
These poems feel so familiar but like such new groundbreaking territory for Lana. All of the poems are so amazing because they read like poetic journal entries and that’s what makes it feel intimate.
 
Never to Heaven is still such a brilliant poem to me in that it says exactly what it needs to say and the whole idea of her struggle for a relationship in regards to her ability to think deeply and ponder the philosophies of this world is so profound. I think it’s poignant because it is hard to find someone when you are the type to think abstractly like that - you’re prone to feeling emptier because philosophy is a subject that is so fulfilling but also raises so many other questions that can lead to existential anxieties. And the fact that she says she’ll never try to know what God knows (contrast from PSB) and that she believes in herself to be of the more “normal” kind to make these relationships less suffocating for herself - is just furthering the message that as humans, the relationships we have with others are what write our story; even from a pure sociological perspective. And I think it’s beautiful that virtually Lana’s whole niche is writing about her relationships with others in regards to her self reflections. She truly is a prophet of our time and I’m grateful for her wisdom!

I got my book todayyyy! I just have to say, it’s a real pleasure to read the poems out loud to yourself.

I wonder if we’ll ever get a special edition/hand-bound copy. The pages are so beautiful looking, I wish they actually were textured like the print. This book is beautiful, and it would benefit so much from thick expensive handmade paper (and I’d be willing to spend 70-100 on it, tbh). 

honestly... sportcruiser was beautiful..... by far my fave

I’ve been slowly reading this and taking my time with it
some of the poems hit so well and some I’m just happy to be privy to Lana’s streams of consciousness
The book itself is actually made so beautifully
The paper quality, the print texture, the poems with little scribbles and the final next to it, the binding and the quality of it all is stunning, the offness and imperfections of the type gah
It’s such a beautifully made and considered book, the full bleed photo pages GAH
You can tell it was truly a passion project for her and that she really cared about it
 
I’m actually in the process of making a photo book called ~there’s a stranger in my house~ and the way she has made her book to ~feel~ a certain way is so inspiring. Inside it list’s who printed the book in Australia and I secretly wish I’ll be able to print with them
 
Violet is honestly my favourite poem at the moment, I’m currently reading the one where she’s talking about the flying lessons — I’m so here for this
I can’t wait to hear her read them when my vinyl arrives, i’m sure it’s gonna hit so different especially with the instrumentals behind it GAHHHHH

I hope she ditches the boring popsound of SadnSexy and goes back to the greatness of her quirky-orchestral-alternative-roots

Sometimes I really wonder if Lana’s naive enough to where she genuinely isn’t aware how certain things come across to others (like wearing that mesh mask while hosting a busy book signing event or the heated question for the culture rant). Or... if she just goes for publicity? I.e. both of these events included promo for her work. I’ve always loved her deeply since the start really, but I’ve never seen her get like this, or however you wanna put it. Regardless, I just hope these types of situations with her from this year more or less fade away

Penis Pence is nothing but word salad. It's like I'm watching some Hollywood movie and Pence is playing the part of an atypical bad guy trying to play the good guy by being overly nice. Totally lying through his teeth ?
