Lana Del Rey is getting into the self-published poetry business … if selling one’s writing
for $1 a pop is indeed a “business.”
The singer initially told fans she’d be releasing a poetry collection back in January.
She updated that plan this week, announcing on Instagram she’s down to hand
deliver “a couple boxes” of the books to “mom and pop” bookstores in Southern California
and San Francisco “when I’m done binding it in a few months.”
Asked about the price for the collection in the comments,
Lana said (via The Fader), “$1 … because my thoughts are priceless.”
She’s also shared a few examples of the poems, which range in length and style.
“Jasmine in the air,” she writes in one of the shorter poems, “the burden of fame is real / never felt so clear.”
According to The Fader, she has yet to announce a release date for her forthcoming fifth studio album.
