Back in January, Lana Del Rey revealed her plans to release a book of poetry titled Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass. Today, she gave fans an update via an Instagram post, saying that she plans on self-publishing the collection and distribute it to mom & pop bookstores across California in a few months. To a fan asking how much the book would cost, Lana responded "$1... because my thoughts are priceless."
She also has shared a variety of poems that will presumably appear in the collection, the likes of which can be found below. There's still no official release date set for Lana's upcoming fifth studio album Norman Fucking Rockwell. Its most recent single, "hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have - but i have it," arrived in January.
