I have to preface this with the fact I am a huge fan of Lana Del Rey’s music but not a huge fan of poetry, so it makes some sense that this poetry book was not for me, but I also found the poetry to be meandering and directionless (and not in a stylistic way to represent how she feels lost, torn, and directionless — just a poorly-done way). My copy also doesn’t have page numbers which I found incredibly strange.
I liked the second half of the book much better than the first, although I have nothing at all to say about the haikus. Standouts for me were ‘My Bedroom Is a Sacred Place Now – There Are Children at the Foot of My Bed’, ‘Happy’, and ‘Thanks to the Locals’.

A collection of reflective poetry discussing heartbreak, anxiety, fame, home, and reminders to romanticize your life.
Lana's poetry is like her music in the sense you never know where it's going; sometimes the writing is structured while other times its pure stream of consciousness. Overall, this was an intriguing glimpse into a misunderstood artist's mind and the things that haunt her. It's about finding bits of happiness as the world and our lives falls apart.
With how poetic Lana's songwriting is, I was expecting more from her debut book and found it to be deeply average instead.

Mehhhh…. I’m glad I finally crossed this off my list of poetry books but the poetry/message isn’t going to stick with me the way other poems have. These would probably make nice songs though.
gave it a shot. that's alright. i'll stick to your songs.
