Mulholland Dive - Paperback
by Vanessa Roveto (Author)
"It was the year us girls had a feminine desire to go missing," Vanessa Roveto, acclaimed author of bodys, begins her book within the remnants of a car crash, fragmenting identity, grief, and heart.
Beginning with the death of daddy, the "I" soon meshes with whatever and whomever she comes into contact with-strangers, actors, a Covid crush. She absorbs these people and objects, dispersing them into the Southern California landscape, the Uncanny Valley, warping time and naturalizing dreams.
Documenting a period of both global and personal loss, Roveto crafts a book-length poem that weighs heavier than the Ego in L.A. Splintering Self between Other and palm trees in the summer heat, Mulholland Dive spins a Lynchian setting within a feminine eruption of alluring language, fluked romance, and the aftershocks of grief.
Vanessa Roveto is the author of two books of poetry, bodys and a women, and the novella The Valley (a void). She is the recipient of a MacDowell Fellowship. She lives in Los Angeles.
