'It was the year us girls had a feminine desire to go missing.' Vanessa Roveto 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, including strangers, actors or 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.
