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

[FallingCherry 7,731]

When the book comes out, and we get the poems that were never recorded—we should make fan made recordings of them!

I love this idea! It’d be a great way to show Lana how much we support her and her poetry. She already knows we love her for her music, but I’m sure she’d be so happy to know we also love Lana the poet. She could keep writing books in the future!

Her book tour would only be in LA and San Fran though, we all know it.

This is definitely her witchiest project yet

 

(This was meant about the album, but actually I believe it about the book already too)

[fl0ridakil0s 3,960]

I can't wait to see the book! I'm so proud of this project 

[rightofjupiter 16,731]

just bumping this bc no COCC news but i'm still v excited that we get this book (with tons of new poems not on the Violet album) in 5 weeks!

[Roll With me 5,667]

I was just checking the book on Amazon and saw one picture of what seems to be the back cover and I hadn't seen it before. I don't know if it's been discussed before, but is this the back cover?

oh interesting– maybe so? But also funny (and classic Lana) that she used an IG selfie as her author photo

[alienprincess 1,973]

uh.. why that photo? The eye make is a mess sorry it throws it off

[Barry 5,972]

I've still not read/heard any of it yet. I was busy when it came out then haven't really been in the mood to listen to it since

[Nobody 21,608]

this is the back cover on Amazon US help 

[DLT 7,592]

I would have much preferred a photo less back cover with just the painted cover. The pic could have been on the inside of the book. I know a lot of people were like yasssssss to that pic but I’m not too much of a fan, especially for the cover of a book. 

[Chemtrail 3,137]

I almost forgot we still have around 16 poems left to read from this project

Not everyone complaining about a damn selfie

[Trash Magic 28,472]

That photo choice is so funny and unsurprising. It would have been fun if she had a real author style headshot taken. Super excited to pick this up in store.

[Ebola 2,371]

now why couldn't she just have chuck take a nice little photo of her and put a b&w filter over it

Spoiler

like she does for everything else
