“Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass es el poema que da título al libro y el primer poema que escribí de muchos. Algunos de los cuales me llegaron en su totalidad, que dicté y luego escribí a máquina, y otros que trabajé laboriosamente separando cada palabra para hacer el poema perfecto. Son eclécticos y honestos y no intentan ser otra cosa que lo que son y por eso estoy orgulloso de ellos, sobre todo porque el espíritu con el que fueron escritos fue muy auténtico ". -Lana del Rey

IDIOMA ORIGINAL
“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.” —Lana Del Rey
