anyone know why the title in the book is typed like this

 

“Violet bEnt bAckwards Over The gRass”

 

I thought it might've been like a pun because that poem is about a child

It’s a really beautiful book. The mix of old and new in the pictures is really special. Love how all the poems we didn’t know about connect to NFR. Maybe it would have been a bit of a letdown if there hadn’t been an audiobook though.

My copy has just arrived. 

Damn, it's so aesthetically pleasing. The pages, the cover. It's all so nice

[Yosemite 23,786]

Nah, you weren't joking about Thanks to the Locals.

I felt really heartbroken for her.

I'm glad she ended that poem the way she did: even though she "moved" on, she knew there was an easier way but she chose the hard, but more rewarding, way.

my copy arrived today! it's beautiful. i think it was such a lovely idea to include the reader to write their own poetry at the end there as well, i think i may write a few things when the time is right. it just makes the book that much more personal, to have your own thoughts upon the same pages as the author. i will cherish this book forever. <3

I also thought about it but I'm afraid I'll ruin it lmao

It seemed we would never see the day that we’d have that book. It didn’t let down (thanks to her contact with her editor and the audiobook). Can’t wait for the second one in March (if everything goes as planned).

I was gonna write fake lyrics in mine so that when COCC comes out I can contrast and compare

Also are those tear stains on "Paradise is Very Fragile"?

Maybe I am just depression but it made me feel sad

I wanna write stuff but I won't damage the book. However, it's a great ideia to be able to write in it. 

Also, write the Tulsa Jesus Freak fake lyrics those were *chief's kiss*

[Chestnut Fox Sexy Jesus 3,026]

Reading your comments has hyped me up big time about the book. I'm in Italy so I will probably have to wait a while before my order arrives but still... Looking forward to the photos and the poems.
