“Violet Bent Backwards over the Grass” hardcover Poetry Book Pre-Release Thread

Recommended Posts

Has everyone bought my recently released book of poems about Lana? It's called "I Fall to Pieces" and the author is Glenn Cooper. Available from lulu.com

 

I sent Lana a copy. I do hope she gets it.

I bought Tupac's Poetry book a couple of weeks ago. Thought I would share some while we wait...

 

Sometimes I Cry

Sometimes when im alone

I cry because im on my own

The tears I cry R bitter and warm

They flow with love but take no form

I cry because my heart is torn

and I find it difficult 2 carry on

If I had an ear 2 confide in

I would cry among my treasured friends

But who do u know that stops that long

to help another carry on

The world moves fast and it would rather pass u bye

than 2 stop and c what makes u cry

Its painful and sad and sometimes I cry

and no one cares about why

 

My Dearest One!!

There R no words 2 express
how much I truly care
So many times I fantasize of
feelings we can share
My heart has never known
the Joy u bring 2 me
As if GOD knew what I wanted
and made u a reality
I'd die 2 hold u or 2 kiss u
or merely to see your face
my stomach quivers my body shivers
and my heart increases pace
2 give me $ or lots of gold
would not be the same 2 me
I prayed and watched the distant stars
and finally u came 2 me!

 

Cupid's Smile II

I ran outside 2 feel the rain
and I stayed outside awhile
When the rain was done along came the sun
and this was Cupid's Smile!

 

The Sun and The Moon

Your ways R similar 2 the rays of the sun
Warm 2 many but 2 strong 4 some
The more u R needed the brighter u shine
Watched 4 2 long and your brilliance will blind
The eyes of mortal men who threaten u with Doom
They regret 2 c u set but it is time 4 the moon

 

Forever and Today

U say that u'll love me forever but what about today
As the dusks become dawns and the years pass on will u love me the same way
If so let us rejoice and bathe in constant pleasure
If not spare my heart today and I shall recover before forever
And if my doubts and ?'s upset u, forgive my fragile heart
I just wanted 2 know if you'd love me forever
Before Today would START!

 

I would also recommend the book if you are one of those fancy people who put books on your coffee table for people just to skim through if they want as its just like 60 or so short poems and they are quite nice, some are political, some are dedicated to people who died or friends of his and other mostly random and about love.  It's called The rose that grew from from the concrete.

 

I've never read any other poetry books, so I dont know if this is normal for them but the left page has it in his handwriting and then the right page is the poem like typed in normal book form (lol), I hope Lana does that also as it's nicer to read the real handwriting for some reason.

Just the way Lana teased and hyped stuff but never ended up doing/releasing it.

It will be out at some point... But when is the real question here.

I relistened to the interview and she said that she seriously began thinking about releasing it only 3 weeks prior to the interview. That's not very long to have a clear and coherent plan. Before that, it was a side project. She also said herself she is bad at marketing stuff.  And is it just me, or does she tend to forget she is Lana fucking Del Rey? 

So... is it realistic to self publish when you are already a big name and many fans already want to buy the damn thing? is she in talks with a big publishing company? Does Interscope want to cash in on that (and offer us various bundle packs with NFR- could be the reason we still don't have a release date at the moment)?

my biggest concern is her doing the most basic & cliche white girl poetry

this sksks

 

she doesn't seem to comprehend just how powerful she is & still could be, it's like she's been 6-7 in the business n still doesn't know anything but nobody is gonna stop her anyways
