The result is an extraordinary poetic landscape that reflects the unguarded spirit of its creator"--;Violet bent backwards over the grass -- What happened when I left you -- LA Who am I to love you? -- The land of 1000 fires -- Never to heaven -- Tessa DiPietro -- Past the bushes Cypress thriving -- SportCruiser -- Quiet waiter blue forever -- My bedroom is a sacred place now; there are children at the foot of my bed -- In the hills of Benedict Canyon -- Happy -- Sugarfish -- Ringtone -- In the flats of Melrose -- Thanks to the locals -- Paradise is very fragile -- Salamander -- Haikus -- Notes for a poet.;"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.
