Back in January, Lana Del Rey revealed her plans to release a book of poetry titled Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass. Today, she gave fans an update via an Instagram post, saying that she plans on self-publishing the collection and distribute it to mom & pop bookstores across California in a few months. To a fan asking how much the book would cost, Lana responded "$1... because my thoughts are priceless."
