Susan Slaviero (Illinois) Poetry. Paper, perfect bound, 78 pp Melding the language of sci-fi and sensuality,Susan Slaviero’s redolent, ambitious debut wallows delightfully in its rhythm and vocabulary yet remains sharp and meticulous. In this lyric guide to cyborg feminism—complete with robosexuality and teledildonics—Slaviero traverses traditional female tropes, including fairy-tale heroines, mermaids, and brides. Full of lucent wit, imagination, intelligence, and a scathing playfulness. |
