Some of which came to me in their entirety, which I dictated and then typed out, and some that I worked laboriously picking apart each word to make the perfect poem. They are eclectic and honest and not trying to be anything other than what they are and for that reason I’m proud of them, especially because the spirit in which they were written was very authentic.” — Lana Del Rey Lana’s breathtaking first book solidifies her further as “the essential writer of her times” ( The Atlantic ). The collection features more than thirty poems, many exclusive to the book: Never to Heaven, The Land of 1,000 Fires, Past the Bushes Cypress Thriving, LA Who Am I to Love You?, Tessa DiPietro, Happy, Paradise Is Very Fragile, Bare Feet on Linoleum , and many more. This beautiful hardcover edition showcases Lana’s typewritten manuscript pages alongside her original photography. The result is an extraordinary poetic landscape that reflects the unguarded spirit of its creator. Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass is also brought to life in an unprecedented spoken word audiobook which features Lana Del Rey reading fourteen select poems from the book accompanied by music from Grammy Award–winning musician Jack Antonoff.","forthcoming":false,"isbn13":"9781982167288","publication_date":"20200929","publisher":"Simon & Schuster","slug":"violet-bent-backwards-over-the-grass","subtitle":"Hardcover – Illustrated, September 29, 2020","title":"Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass"},"discovery":{"categories":{"all":[{"bisac_code":"POE023020","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Love Poetry","score":0.7521,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"POE023010","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Poetry About Death","score":0.7454,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"POE005010","confidence_band":"medium","label":"American Poetry","score":0.7446,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"hint":[{"bisac_code":"POE023020","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Love Poetry","score":0.7521,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"POE023010","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Poetry About Death","score":0.7454,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"POE005010","confidence_band":"medium","label":"American Poetry","score":0.7446,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"publisher":[{"bisac_code":"BIO005000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Lives in Entertainment","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"BIO026000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Personal Memoirs","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"POE005010","confidence_band":"high","label":"American Poetry","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"}]},"genres":[{"label":"Love Poetry","score":0.7521,"slug":"love-poetry"},{"label":"Poetry About Death","score":0.7454,"slug":"poetry-about-death"},{"label":"American Poetry","score":0.7446,"slug":"american-poetry"}],"reader_fit":["Good for readers who enjoy Love Poetry","Good for readers interested in women","Good for fans of Poetry"],"related_lists":[],"series":null,"similar_books":[{"authors":["Charles Bukowski"],"book_id":"9780876851913","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780876851913.jpg?v=20260406T231758Z%3A2026-04-06T23%3A17%3A58Z","score":13.5759,"title":"Burning in Water, Drowning in Flame","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780876851913"},{"authors":["Charles Bukowski"],"book_id":"9780061771217","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780061771217.jpg?v=20260406T231758Z%3A2026-04-06T23%3A17%3A58Z","score":13.5631,"title":"The Continual Condition","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780061771217"},{"authors":["Charles Bukowski"],"book_id":"9780060577063","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780060577063.jpg?v=20260406T231758Z%3A2026-04-06T23%3A17%3A58Z","score":13.5482,"title":"Come on In!","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780060577063"},{"authors":["Charles Bukowski"],"book_id":"9780060577087","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780060577087.jpg?v=20260406T231758Z%3A2026-04-06T23%3A17%3A58Z","score":13.5198,"title":"The People Look Like Flowers at Last","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780060577087"},{"authors":["Charles Bukowski"],"book_id":"9780876856833","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780876856833.jpg?v=20260406T231758Z%3A2026-04-06T23%3A17%3A58Z","score":13.4961,"title":"You Get So Alone at Times That It Just Makes Sense","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780876856833"},{"authors":["Charles Bukowski"],"book_id":"9780876858639","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780876858639.jpg?v=20260406T231758Z%3A2026-04-06T23%3A17%3A58Z","score":13.4727,"title":"The Last Night of the Earth Poems","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780876858639"},{"authors":["Charles Bukowski"],"book_id":"9781574231359","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781574231359.jpg?v=20260406T231758Z%3A2026-04-06T23%3A17%3A58Z","score":13.4611,"title":"Open All Night","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781574231359"}],"topics":[{"evidence_refs":["keyword:women"],"label":"Women","score":0.5667,"slug":"women"},{"evidence_refs":["keyword:poetry"],"label":"Poetry","score":0.1191,"slug":"poetry"},{"evidence_refs":["keyword:romantic"],"label":"Romantic","score":0.1107,"slug":"romantic"},{"evidence_refs":["keyword:dark"],"label":"Dark","score":0.0812,"slug":"dark"},{"evidence_refs":["keyword:female"],"label":"Female","score":0.0509,"slug":"female"}],"what_you_get":["Themes: Women, Poetry, Romantic.","Reading lane: Love Poetry and Poetry About Death.","Publisher: Simon & Schuster."]},"llm_signals":null,"source_presence":{"amazon":true,"book_detail":true,"goodreads":true,"llm_signals":false,"similarity_seed":true},"stats":{"amazon_ratings_count":11035,"goodreads_ratings_count":62710,"goodreads_reviews_count":8252,"quality_score":1}}
