THE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED DEBUT BOOK OF POETRY FROM LANA DEL REY, VIOLET BENT BACKWARDS OVER THE GRASS 'Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass is the title poem of the book and the first poem I wrote of many. 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.<br/><br/>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. <br/><br/>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.

In our imaginings of Paris, painter and graphic artist <strong>Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec</strong> (1864-1901) has no small role to play. In his prints, posters, paintings, and drawings, the artist <strong>immortalized the city's Belle Epoque nightlife</strong> and <strong>put the northern neighborhood of Montmartre on the global map of creative-hedonist hotspots.</strong><br/><br/> The son of old French nobility, Toulouse-Lautrec seems to have been drawn early on to visions of a demimonde, centering his attention on the <strong>dance halls, cabarets, and brothels </strong>of Montmartre and adopting <strong>famed dancers and singers</strong> as his subjects, most notably Jane Avril. His works include both lively performance scenes and quiet, tender "after-hours" portraits such as <em>The Sofa</em> and <em>In Bed. </em>Stylistically, he mastered <strong>both bold graphics, as celebrated in his promotional posters of Jane Avril, and a loose yet evocative sketchwork</strong>.<br/><br/> Though he died aged just 36, due to complications from alcoholism and syphilis, Toulouse-Lautrec's cultural influence was immense. This introductory book takes a walk through his world of singers, dancers, musicians, and prostitutes to reveal an artist of <strong>great humanity, striking figurative skill, and a pronounced sense for the energy and stories of a city</strong>.
