    Hindi siya gaano kalakas kumpara sa mga totoong poets na inukit ang kanilang mga salita na kusang-loob. Ang nakakababaw ay ang sonic production kumpara sa pananalita niya.

    Quite boring and extremely pretentious poetry. I commend her prose and versatility but i guess if you're not a diehard fan these audios will seem self important and faux deep.

    the imagery she portraits is amazing, i love reading the book but listening to every poem on her voice really makes it a complete experience.

    With this collection of poems, Lana Del Rey offers an alternate view of the sun-dazzled California dreaming that fuels her songs. Her spoken word pieces reveal a more immediate lyrical sophistication, but they maintain the strange and powerful magic Del Rey has been cultivating her entire career.

    Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass is one of the most fully formed albums she has put out. Yes, some of the rhymes are clunky and a tad juvenile, but there is a sort of elegance to them. Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass is the album I’ve always wanted Del Rey to make. It’s brave, in a naïve way, and filled with some of glorious subtle backing tracks.

    While at times ‘Violet…’ shows Lana’s fine lyrical prowess, quotes primed for Tumblr captions, most of the time it’s more sixth former trying their best to impress at their first slam poetry event.
