Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass by Lana Del Rey
1.0
- the worst published poetry i've ever read
- how did anyone like this??
- read like the diary entries of a 14 year old girl on christmas vacation in the bahamas who just has too many first world problems
- there was potential to some of del rey's ideas, really! but the poems felt so unedited, like she just scribbled whatever came into her head for an hour a day and then sent the pages off to the publisher without bothering to revise. poetry should be tight, every line and word intentional, creating a clear meaning or feeling. this was not that
- at least it was short
- some of the pictures were ok
- the "haiku" at the end were a joke
- so were many lines of her 'poetry': highlights include "i'm the crying crustacean," "SoulCycle you to death," and more
- 1 star i lost brain cells
