Awww, sorry to hear that. I wish I could order the book and ship out to international people. Would probably be cheaper and take less time. Good luck tho ❤️

are there a lot of longer poems (amongst the new ones not on the album version) or are most of the new ones shorter?

its 10 haikus, 4 short poems and 19 long ones

so 5 new, long poems

 

Titles of the poems according to their appearance, spelled the same as in the book:

Spoiler

1) Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass

2) Bare feet on linoleum

3) What happened when I left you

4) LA Who am I to Love You?

5) Short, untitled poem I

6) The Land of 1000 fires

7) Never to Heaven

8) Tessa DiPietro

9) Past the bushes Cypress thriving

10) SportCruiser

11) Quiet Waiter- Blue forever

12) My bedroom is a sacred place now - There are children at the foot of my bed

13) In the hills of Benedict Canyon

14) Short, untitled poem II

15) happy

16) Sugarfish

17) ringtone

18) In the flats of Melrose

19) Thanks to the Locals

20) Short, untitled poem III

21) Short, untitled poem IV

22) Paradise is Very Fragile

23) Salamander

24) Short, untitled poem V

25 - 34) Haikus

 

After that, "notes for a poet" section featuring some paintings bei Erika Lee Sears and lined paper to collect thoughts

 

 

Also putting this up here, some pics from the book - shamelessly promoting my Twitter account :creep:

You’re only as happy as your least happy child

i wonder if this is patty shade? :creep: its a 1-line poem

 

this is something my parents always say to me lol.

 

"thanks to the locals" is heartbreaking!

 

also that word we thought might be "sax" or "zack's" in LA.. is Saks (as in the dept store i think)

I got shipping notice from Waterstones for the UK version too. But have heard nothing from Amazon yet. Has anyone in the US heard anything yet? My order still says it'll be here tomorrow but it hasn't shipped. I really want to get a copy tomorrow!!

Has anyone that pre-ordered this on Amazon actually got charged way less than the original price? 

 

$17.49, and that was raised up from $15 something (I think??)
