Self-described as “equal parts travel-log, love story and journal of dark existential reflection,” The Bella Vista was penned over the course of a year while Rundle was on the road.
“It is what I have spent the last two years of my creative life working on and I am both relieved and excited to finally be sharing it,” she remarked in a press release.
Along with the poetry collection, Rundle will be releasing a companion album of minimal piano pieces in the vein of Harold Budd, whose album La Bella Vista inspired the name of Rundle’s book. Vinyl copies of the album will be limited to 300 and included in a signed first edition hardcover bundle. Pre-orders are available via Unnamed Press.
