by Lana Del Rey
First published 2020
Lana Del Rey presents her first poetry collection, featuring the title poem that sparked this creative journey. The musician turned poet crafted these verses through two distinct methods: some arrived complete and required only transcription, while others demanded careful revision of each word until they achieved their final form. Del Rey describes her poems as eclectic and honest, written without pretense or artifice. The collection captures an authentic creative spirit that guided her throughout the writing process. This hardcover edition displays Del Rey's original typewritten manuscript pages alongside her personal photography, creating a visual poetry experience that mirrors the unguarded nature of the work itself.
